Route Info
This route climbs from the archway bivouac at The Standing Stone area all the way up to The Mirror area.
To start, climb the dihedral beside the bivouac up to a small roof. Gain the roof and move right onto slightly easier ground. As soon as possible, traverse back left toward the jumble of small rocks. From here, head up to the slab (avoiding standing at the safe zone) and straight up through the dihedral.
Eventually you will come to the top of an arete. Do not stand up here at the top. Instead, traverse left toward The Terrace's Bell Cave. Climb over the top of the Bell Cave and traverse even further left until you get to another small roof of long rectangular-like bricks. Climb over this to finish.
