Description Suggest change

This is one of the most iconic lines of Ulsan-bawi. The name 'Venus' comes from the sculpture-like formation on the 6th pitch, but the highlight of the route is the 4th pitch.

P1(35m,5.10a) Start at the base of a crack system that leans slightly to the right.

P2(20m,5.9) Climb the short crack above to reach a nice alcove. The first two pitches provide a nice warm up for the upper crux.

P3(30m,5.10c) As you exit the chimney to the right on pitch 3, you gain the full view of the upper pitches from an airy position.

P4(45m,5.11d or 5.11b,A0) Pitch 4 can be divided into two sections. The lower section is a bolted offwidth which used to be aided at A0. An optional hanging belay was added in 2017. The steep crack in the upper section goes at 5.11b, and will test your endurance.

P5(25m,5.10a) A slab traverse is protected by three bolts.

P6(20m,5.9) The final pitch climbs the sculpture formation of the Venus, which provides the full experience.

The descent is identical to Munri-dae, and follows the central gully rappel.
