This is worth doing, since it is the stand start of the striking arete. The start hold is sharp, shaped like an axe head, and is a good reach away. Work out some unsteady feet, and get yourself up to the lip for the breezy topout.A sit start is possible, likely 3-4 grades harder, and kinda stupid. A right variation also appears like a harder, doable line.

Axe Head

Right Face Direct

Left Variation

Stand start the center of the face on a good hold at the bottom of a perfect, vertical rail. Decent holds and edges make way for an easy but heady topout.

Stand start the left side of the good face with a good foot ledge down low. There are good edges and sidepulls to gain the good holds at the top of Direct.

There are a few cracks, corners, aretes and faces to the right of The Cascade.
