Hennings Arete

See: Featured Route

A great rock route worthy of a rock climbing grade. Climbing shoes are expected.

The roof of Hennings can be gained by a large sturdy pipe on the south face of the building [see inset]. Drop a rope down the north west corner of the building and top-rope the arete [5.12] or just left of the arete, using sidepulls [5.11-].

In pre-pipe days, parties would throw a rope over a branch of the nearby tree. A set-back anchor plus a cruxy top section must've made for some exhilarating climbing.

This is a high traffic area for pedestrians. Best climbed on dark foggy nights. Throwing your rope bag over the nearby light helps. Otherwise, good social skills or a cell phone blocker is a plus.
