Athos

Description

An overhanging arete with big moves on good holds. The first bolt is pretty high considering the landing is a bit scary, but the climbing up to that point isn't very difficult (maybe 5.8). Getting up to clipping the second bolt is the crux, and if you're attempting an onsite, I'd suggest you don't chicken clip the 2nd bolt, but go past it so you get a better stance. The climb up to the anchor isn't very difficult - just trust yourself and your belayer.

Location

On the arete left of Völlig Schwerlos.

Protection

2 bolts + anchor
