Prime Rib

Update for Byron at work!  Here is Tim on one Little's best, Prime Rib, located in the Upper Wasatch Resort area.  It is a bit of a hike for LCC standards but well worth it.  A striking compression arete to what is hopefully as easy of a mantle as Ben Moon makes it look here.  However, neither Tim nor I got up there to see what it was actually like.

Is anything that Ben Moon does as easy as he makes it look??

i do not think so. he has the ability to float up hard problems. when tim and i walked up to this one and starting looking at it, we quickly realized we had no idea where the crux was since ben move hiked every move. honestly, the mantle does not look too bad, but then again neither did wrist rocket nor shivers, but i could not do either of those. what seemed to be the two crux moves for me was moving my left foot up (surprising hard) and then doing the big right hand throw to where the angle of the arete changes.

ha, yeah it is hard to figure out the crux when people float every move!

this looks like one of the coolest aretes EVER.
