Quality: 3 star
Location: Tram
Notes: Unique line!
The Steep Sharma Arete, put up by Chris Sharma (duh!)
during the filming of the classic bouldering vid Rampage.
Chris can be seen hiking the original start, and then
coming "oh so close" to sending the lower start,
wailing like Darth Vader in his new helmet. Dan Mills
eventually added the lower start, calling it Devil's Dance
(V12).
The original stand problem starts at a polished sidepull
jug. Make a huge reach to a blocky pinch hold, set up
on some thin crimps, then toss for a sharp-edged jug at
the lip (taking care not to plow into your spotter as
you cut from the heel).
