Box Car Arete

So after bailing from the River Boulders we were planning on going to the Camp Serene bloc home to one of Washington's best V6s. However, we thought we might check out the classic Box Car Arete, located below the Index Town Wall. Upon pulling into the parking lot, who do we run into but Cole Allen. We kicked it with him and his friend Mike until it stopped raining then got a tour of the Town Wall and the Box Car Arete. I have to say, Todd Skinner's City Park (5.13c) is one of the most amazing trad lines I have seen in person and I might just have to try it one of these days. We tried to dry the holds off on the arete as best as possible and we all sent. Not wanting to have to return to properly finish off the bloc, I topped the slab out which felt a bit insecure due to the wet slab foot placements but not very difficult. Here is a quick video of Ander's burn.
