what is the name of this route?

Around the arete, to the right of Fatty Bolger there is an aid route.

It has a solo anchor bolt at the bottom, two small heads in nothing then it looks like crystal hooking for 7 - 10 ft to a newish rivet. Then heading right across an arch that looks to have fixed heads in it with red lower out slings.

Is is old, is it new, how hard. At least the landing looks soft if you blow the hooks early on.

Aid climbing is stupid. Aid climing on 30 foot high rocks... I don't even have a name for that.

Why not keep your smart comments to yourself?!
lol... Sir Major Corporal Sir!!
It took me about a minute of looking through your general feed back to find this in your post history.

How about you use the regular color, and stop F***ing with my eyes.

Don't know what it's called but it's sick. Bathook after the second head and then crystal hooking up to the rivet. Didn't get much further than that but going to give it another try soon. Looks like more heads and hooking across the seam to the finish.
