Route Info

Another true bouldering problem in the demo area (Tenzen). Sister route to Shackles, both are named because they desire to keep you on the ground.

Start to the right of the Bivouac on the upper level near the pillar- in the center of the outcropping. Mount the first ledge then stem up to get your first good hands on the arete about 2/3rd of the way. Fight for good feet until you claim the upper arete and top out.

A bit easier than it's counterpart- Shackles, but required Buffs in the demo. With the changes in the full release this may be doable buffless...
