Description
Like its namesake city, this route exemplifies that even in the midst of dirt, poverty, and chaos (choss), one still finds many positive traits and wonderful people. With that said, this route, like the city of Addis Ababa, is not a place for everyone, (especially the choss averse!).
A fun beginner adventure route, but don't forget to wear your helmet. Maybe you'll look like a dork, but your Mom will forever be grateful.
Pitch #1: Climb up the buttress past several bolts to a steep overhanging bulge. Tread lightly through the brief impasse to easier terrain to a two-bolt belay under a roof. 5.6, 25m.
Pitch #2: Pass the first of two bulges protected by a few more bolts and follow the arête to another two-bolt belay. 5.6, 25m.
Rappel the route.
Alternatively, Rappel from the top of P2 to the chains of Nowhere Land, then to your start. Less comfortable, but much better path for your rope to follow, and will prevent you from scrambling on the 4th class stuff below.
