Description
At the left edge of the First Buttress - just right of and uphill from the Left Hand Crack area is an obvious, right-facing, corner system with a short squeeze chimney in the middle. This is Aphrodite.
Climb up the corner, squeeze through the short chimney, and then up a nice corner to the top.
Location
Descend from bolts just left of the top (above
Sasafrass). Either two 1 rope raps or a single double rope will get you down.
Protection
A standard rack - the chimney doesn't require anything special.
