‘Son of Hera’ is on the narrow, very steep "Ares Face" just right of the main arête. Strictly avoiding the arête itself and the 2 inch ledge at waist level, climb a few moves of 5.10 until you can make a long reach with the left hand for a very large, obvious horn high on the arête. Palm the horn with your left hand, then reach directly for the top with your right. Edit—for people who don’t know what an “eliminate” boulder problem is, it means if a problem is rated 5.10+ then you do not use any holds, hand holds or foot holds, that would reduce the rating (make it easier). On ‘Son of Hera’ for example, there’s a huge pocket for the right foot down low, so that’s off-route. Capiche? (See my comments for “Eternal August”)

Son of Hera

Eternal August ...aka "SpreadEagleNebula"

Chop to the top

Eternal August aka "SpreadEagleNebula" is on the narrow, very steep "Ares Face" just right of the main arête. It ascends the face directly, spectacularly avoiding any easy holds; avoid touching the arête, the obvious 2-inch ledge, and the Son of Hera horn. Use only 5.10 holds until a loose 5.11 crux is encountered near the top. (Top rope rehearsal before solo)

This is climbing the Face directly right of the obvious arete, using only the face, no arete, no right crack, mostly nice crimps,at the top stay right avoiding the two jugs on the arete, same with feet only use face  .... very fun route with not great pad placement and kinda tall toping out so be careful
