Milk Arete 5.10d **Vogel P. 407 The excellent Milk Arete is now more excellent! It now has a 2nd pitch! After the 5.10+ first pitch, you end on a ledge. There are now 2 bolts on this ledge (not put in by the first ascent party, but please leave them in anyways... bolt chopping is a very damaging thing to do to the rock, and is usually a bad thing to do for the climbing community too.). The 2nd pitch is 5.10- and goes up the next headwall steep part past 3 more bolts. Just left of the 2nd pitch of Milk Arete is Martin Luther's Thing 5.10c*, a very short steep hand crack . Just left of the Milk arete is The James Earl Ray Crack 5.4 and left of the James Earl Ray Crack is a 4 bolt face climb on a buttress that ends at a 2 bolt anchor (Ah-Goo 5.7*)...Quick Draws only.
