An easy solo up a relatively featureless slab to gain the top of the finger and the bolted anchor, can be used to set up a toprope. Alternatively one could build an anchor on the highest cracks and belay their partner, it is still relatively x rated this way as there is no protection.

North Arete

Peppermint Finger

Follows the double cracks on the east side of the finger directly adjacent to the Potato Chip boulder. Atop the cracks gain a no hands rest on a ledge and launch off in to face climbing up and right. A #4 BD stopper in a seam is near-essential here to protect the committing face moves (RP's would work as well). This gear is a little tricky to find/place and requires a cool head. Excellent stone and movement, may be a little height dependent. 2 bolt anchor with rap ring.

This is the Feature the whole area is named for and it provides an expansive view, it has excellent rock and the potential for a few more lines, including a nails hard overhanging finger crack.
