Sicilian Olympics

FA: Joe Terravecchia,1992
New Hampshire > Southeast / Sea… > Stonehouse Pond

Description

Probably the best route on the Luna wall. The route originally climbed right at the 4th bolt into the shallow dihedral,12d. Going straight up here keeps the grade at about 12b and is more consistent with the rest of the route.

Location

Starts 10' to the right of Luna.

Protection

9 bolts to LO.

[Hide Comment] Why the down grade from 12c? Did something break? New beta discovered? Oct 20, 2020

[Hide Comment] Beta refinement and comparison with benchmark New England 12b’s like Eyeless and Techno Surfing dropped Sicilian a letter grade in my opinion. I think shorter climbers may find the crux more difficult however. Oct 20, 2020
