Resolution Arete, V, 5.11d

16th Pitch- 150’- 5.9/ The beta on the next two pitches is conflicting. Handren talks of a completely different approach to this part of the route then what we and others have used which I thought was fairly straight forward. Climb up the easy left slanting crack/chimney in front of you to its end and then swing out on face moves left to reach another small ledge. The next move is a dramatic 5.9 heel hook (decking opportunity), but is the only 5.9 move on the pitch. Hook your right heel and jug on up the left face. Continue up and over onto another significant ledge and belay close to the next wall. Resolution Arete, V, 5.11d, Mount Wilson, Red Rocks, NV, April, 2009
