This is a V5 just left of uber classic Topus Arete...


Description 

this spot is the home to an abandoned rock mine and one of the coolest boulders at Ibex


Getting There 

instead of taking the right at the rock stack where you would head west to the red monster area When you first come in to Ibex, go straight until you get to the Topus area

There used to be a great camp ground just south of this boulder. Over the years, wear and tear on the camp ground desimated the soft dunes surrounding the camp, and this last year some idiots had a bonfire under the sheltering boulder which had formerly been the centerpiece to this fantastic place. There are a couple of problems ranging from V2 to V4 within the camp along with some .12-.13ish bolted roughts, but the draw to climb there has seriously been degraded since the alleged rager. Super bummer. Luckily the actual Topus boulder survived the the mining days, and is still one of my favorite collection of classics in the area.
