    My favorite FA so far. I walked past this at least twice before realizing there was probably a climbable line on it. Took me LOT of tries to figure out how to get up it, though. The moves aren't that hard (though it probably gets much harder if your wingspan is less than 5'8" or so) but they are really interesting. Today was a weird outlier temperature-wise: was probably around 55 degrees. The arete felt unusable just a couple days ago, but today it was like velcro. Really hard to figure out the grade on this one - My suggested grade is V5/6/7. EDIT - went back today (2/24/17) to try to send the Theatre project, tried to warm up on this and discovered it was a lot harder than I thought - apparently I got a lot stronger as I was developing this area, and because I climbed exclusively on FA projects - nothing established and no gym climbing at all - for two months, my frame of reference was way off! Funny to realize it now. Everything is at least a grade harder than I originally thought!
