Mammuthone (First Pitch)

5.11c, Sport, 65 ft (20 m),  Avg: 4 from 6 votes
FA: A. Kubista (2003)
International > Europe > Italy > Sardinia > Cala Gonone > Millennium Cave

Description

Either start directly up the route in a small dihedral or on a crimpy face to the left aiming for the big complex of tufas and curtains above. In November 2019 the third bolt had a four-foot long rope fixed draw on it so this is easy to identify. After clipping the fixed rope draw, commit to the steep tufas, clip a draw on the third bolt on top of the rope draw to protect you from a ledge fall, and enjoy awesome, featured climbing to tricky move to the anchors just above the horizontal break.
A second pitch continues over the bulge at 5.14a (8b+).  

Location

Far left of the Millennium Cave. Look for the long rope draw on the third bolt. The route is the first route right of the bushes/trees on the wall. 

Protection

9 bolts to anchor with a lowering biner.
