Description

Athenaeum- In ancient Greece: a building sacred to the goddess Athena the Athenian temple that served as a gathering place for the learned; an institution for the promotion of learning.

Currently, there are two-bolt anchors on each of the routes, however, there are only a combination of quick links and carabiners on each pitch, and not every anchor is the same. Feel free to contribute gear for lower-offs until all anchors are set up with multiple quicklinks.

Long routes on this wall with steep starts for most of the climbs. The rock on this wall is nowhere near bomber, but definitely not a bomb.

This wall has been cleaned very well for each route, and like all else, these pitches will continue to improve in quality as they are climbed.

Getting There

After entering the North end of The Agora, scramble down the blocky ledges at The Solarium, heading south on a short trail for about a min.
