This is another new Alvino Pon route.  "Slab Arete" is a temporary name until the real name is known.

Begin by some bushes at the right side of the rock.  The first bolt is about 10' off the ground.  Climb up and leftpast the first two bolts, gaining the clean slab.  Make some delicate moves up the slab, and continue to the seventh bolt.  Work left past a bulge (crux) and climb easily past two more bolts to the anchor.

The leader can belay from the anchor or lower/rappel 80' to the ground.

Two stars for clean rock, good moves, and airy position.

Per

JF M

: start with a few easier moves past the first couple of red hangers; follow the line along the arete feature, then back left and up the slap to a fun, well-protected bulge (crux). Finish the route with a few more bolts and a few more slab-moves to the anchors.

Eds. this is a combination of 2 submissions, the first was submitted on a different crag.
