"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Mark's Arete, 5.9, 2 PitchesWith Gus from Tennessee. We nailed a ton of routes this trip up this canyon, including most on Exit Dome. Mark's Arete is a good route to combine with Crack Man as there are in line with each other vertically with an unroped section in the middle. Worth doing if climbing everything at Exit Dome. The 1st pitch has a cool slab crux at the grade and the 2nd pitch has a fun crack move at the grade.
