Looking up pitch 9 (acc to SuperTopo) of Venusian Blind Arete. This is a very fun 5.7 pitch. Note the "death diving board" which ST warns you not to touch! (June 24, 2005).

sweet pitch that is

That is such a great part of the route. I love the whole thing, but right there you're high up, the rock is cleaner and more solid than it was down below... that overused word "classic" keeps coming up. Here is a photo of that same diving board from the side.

Re: sweet pitch that is

Agreed - that was one of the best pitches. Great shot of the diving board - I steered way clear of it as I climbed past! I wonder how much longer that thing will be up there?
