We enjoyed the Inwood Arête so much in Summer,. we knew it would be a fantastic Winter Climb.  We were right!  The technical route data is the same as in Summer (see previous page)  We started a little before dawn and hit the summit around 12 pm.  We made Great time and had a blast.  We were successful because we simul-soloed the entire route.
