AID:A4+ Return Of The Etrier

A razor thin seam. Start 10m left of the Crystal Voyager arete. The first 10m is fairly overhung using micro cams for the first 3m. The crack then closes to accept small to medium beaks and #1 lost arrows. Climb through the bulge on more beaks and up the vertical wall on more beaks, pin stacks, fixed heads and a few RPs to a slopey mantle on top. Once through the bulge don't zipper any gear as you will bounce off the adjacent car sized boulder at one third height. Grade A4+
