INDICES
3 | LUNAR ARETE [V6]   The most photogenic line on Main Dome heads up the SW arete.  Both sides are used and the only topouts to date have accessed the left head wall.
 
4 | “NERI ARETE” [V?] Climb the overhaning side of the west arete.  There may be a different name by the “First Ascentionist”, but until I learn what that is, if one exists, the “Neri Arete” comes from Rodolfo Neri Vela... the first Mexican Astronaut.  Fitting I thought as I believe it was John Gonzalez who got the FA on Lunar Arete & “Neri Arete”.  Our fellow ground based, but lunar bound friend.
 
5 | TOTAL ECLIPSE [V1]   To the right of the gully, dance carefully up the small crystals projecting from a sea of orange & dark lichen.
 
6 | MOON RISE [V1]   This vertical gully cut into the boulder yields a decent crystal edging problem on generally tiny features.  Follow the gully and the face slightly left of it to the top.
 
8 | SMALL STEP [V1]   On the left side of this slabby face, put on your dancing shoes and step lightly upward.  Although you’re welcome to choose otherwise, the problem tends to stay close to the arete to the left.
