Anna Route

Pitches 1, 2 and 3 have 5.8 territory.  Pitch 4 is not very good as it is low angle and rubbly.  Fixed anchors and some fixed gear.  Supplement with a light trad rack that includes a half dozen cams, half dozen stoppers and a dozen alpine draws.

All belays have 2 bolts and rap rings.

p1 (30m IV+ 5.5): start on IV 5.4 arete at the right side of the wide black cave. IV+ 5.5 overhang. up-right IV 5.4 slab. belay at 2 bolts with rap rings under roofs.

p2 (30m V+ 5.7): move right onto a IV+ 5.5 dihedral with a flake; up-left on V+ 5.7 (or possibly 5.8) overhang; up-right on IV 5.4 slabs; traverse left and belay at 2 bolts with rap rings.

p3 (50m V 5.6): vertical V 5.6 wall; up-right IV 5.4 slab and small dihedral; left on easy III 5.3 scramble to large ledge; belay at 2 bolts with rap rings. [Note: walk off climber left seems possible from here toward the start of Diedro Armani-Gasperini/Medaia and trail 325.]

p4 (30m III 5.3) up-right III 5.3 ramp; aim at base of long dihedral. belay at 2 bolts with rap rings.

p5 (50m V+ 5.7) long IV 5.4 dihedral; harder V+ 5.7 (or possibly 5.8) overhang; easy II 5.2 scramble in a gully. belay at 2 bolts with rap rings atop a block.

p6 (50m IV+ 5.5) IV+ 5.5 black wall & vertical crack; III 5.3 scramble aiming at SE arete. Belay left of via normale sud.

p7 (35m III 5.3) easy III 5.3 scramble
