We put in some good burns on Bitch Slap Arete this weekend. We may as well have built our campfire and cooked dinner too. Any advice for the top section, Coopers-aholics?
From the exact position you are in at the 1:54 mark, release your right hand and go straight for the small pocket on the face (it's really incut). Once you establish on that, cut the right heel and paste your right foot on the wall, allowing you to release your left foot and bring it up to a small edge on the right side of the left arete (you use this edge as a thumb catch for your left hand as you work your way up). then stand up and reach the top.
