Hinterland Arete left Side

PB ascends the broken bushy crack system that follows up the right side  arete of Toe Dihedral. Would be better if not for all the mountain mahogany in the first half. Cleans up as you finish same right steep hand crack variation to TD.

Start with any of the routes on the Toe of the Butt. Usually starting with Hinterland Arete, once finished follow rib/ridge traverse all the way to the Key Hole Tower, staying as true to the ridge as possible. Once at Key hole Tower Tunnel through the Key Hole from south to north and continue to top. There are two significant V0- boulder problems throughout the climbing on pitch 3 and another on pitch 4, both unprotected and a fall would not be good.

Largest left facing corner on the formation, very steppy but climbs amazing. About 2/3 of the way up just after the chimney it is possible to do two different finish variations , one straight up and one steps out right exiting the corner and finishes up overhung hand crack.

Cool low angle slab gets to where the climb steepens. Pull through the steep overlap into splitter hand crack to where it steepens up again and crack ends, climb through big blocky 5.5 terrain to anchor. At the top of the hand crack there used to be a giant fallen horizontally perched dead tree you could traverse way out to avoid the last blocky bit but it washed away in a big storm. Climb is less axciting now but still a great warm up.

The Triple Cracks as the name implies is actually a triple mini paralleled crack system, that runs up the separate little mini triangle wall on the bottom left of The Toe of the Butt .

Climb the elaborate splitter system running up the left Side of The Hinterland Arete. Climb a finger crack in a right facing corner to chimney climbing with an exposed featured hand crack finish.
