Description Suggest change

Interesting 10 pitch route. Rated IV+ in UIAA, but definitely a sandbag at 5.5. More likely 5.7, especially given some of the runout pitches.

P1: Up a series of ledges and slab to a two bolt anchor.
P2: Up a series of ledges and slab to a two bolt anchor.
P3: More ledges and slab to a two bolt anchor.
P4: Up a corner to a nice ledge with a two bolt anchor.
P5: Move up, then traverse right to a right-facing corner, then up to a two-bolt anchor.
P6: Move through the trees / easy rock to a two-bolt anchor.
P7: Up the face to a hand crack by the first bolt, then look for the bolt and blue arrow above you. Follow the arrow up and to the right, then up another face to a two bolt anchor behind a nice large tree on a great ledge.
P8: Move left along the wall to a slabby face. Keep moving up and to the left to belay off the major tree on a ledge.
P9: Move out onto the slabby (easy) ramp but with lots of exposure / consequence if you slip. Follow the bolts up and over to a two-bolt anchor.

Descent: Follow the trail south along the ridgeline all the way down to the parking lot (30-40 min hike)

Location Suggest change

Right of Mercurio, marked in paint as "Venere"

Protection Suggest change

Mostly bolts and slings. I found a few small cams and nuts very helpful for the runout sections.
