Description
The cat is out of the bag on this one. It seems like a little more information will be helpful. My notes say 5.10, but my recollection is a boatload of 5.8 and 5.9 face. 90+ % of the bolts are large buttonheads currently in good condition.
Pitch 1. 5.10. Begin by an old ring pin, climb past a bush on to a high quality rock face, 170 feet, 15 bolts, 1 pin, 2 bolt anchor.
Pitch 2. 5.10. Climb a steep face, 150 feet,. 11 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.
Pitch 3. 5.10-. Climb up to the large dihedral, and then left across the face to a tiny stance near the arete, 150 feet, 8 bolts, 2 bolt anchor.
Pitch 4. 5.8 A0. Face climb near an amazing arete to a step about 90 feet up, 8 bolts, and an anchor is a large slung boulder at the top. Consider descending from this point. The last 100 feet. of low 5th Class climbing is littered with debris including football-size rocks that could be dislodged by your rope.
From the top, you can descend Minoan Maze with double ropes.
