Resolution Arete, V, 5.11d

9th Pitch- 100’- 5.9/ This pitch has some ledges, but protects well. Move up and right, but avoid getting sucked too far right. You can see the roof crux of the entire route straight above. Follow the dihedral system back left and straight up to just below the roof. Good nut and cam placements along the way. There were recently jammed cams in both left and right bomber cracks. Both about the same age. How you stick two cams in two different cracks on the same belay is a mystery. Somebody was not to thrilled when their partner showed up above without two number 1’s! Set up a semi hanging belay if you want to use these bomber cracks. There is a better stance a meter or two down, but a subpar vertical crack to establish a station in.
