Description

Freezing your (pick yer body part) off at Odyssey? Come to where the sun shines, come to Iliada.

This sector has something for everyone. Heroically crappy gray slabs, wicked hard pocketed walls, long routes, short routes, wallabies, random car parts from a '77 Pinto, herpes--EVERYTHING. There's even, yes, a couple of showcase cave routes that only the immortal shall send. (But flailing and failing are highly encouraged!)

Fair warning about the sun: It does come around (relatively) early and fry these walls. Some corners and caves will stay cooler than the rest, but vampires and the Irish will want to bring along some lead shielding.

Getting There

The parking location and the beginning of this trail is at the same place as the parking and trail that takes you to odyssey.
Just below odyssey is a neighborhood that can be accessed by going north on the main road followed by a sharp right turn up the steep driveway. Continue onto the road to two huge boulders next to the road. There will likely be vehicles parked here with climbers at odyssey.

From the trail beginning at the two large boulders go straight up till you are nearly at the base of odyssey, there is a rock with three arrows painted on it, take the trail pointing furthest right. Continue onto on this trail, which will take you to a gully that has a sign painted on a large rock saying ocean view wall. From here the trail is very well defined and easy to follow all the way to the sector.
