Description
"Archangels" is a fun and varied moderate multipitch route in the Escalera Arabe - Suiza sector that ascends halfway up Los Frontales. It's well bolted (maybe too well sometimes) with comfortable belays and a rappel descent. A few trees along the way offer welcome shade on this south-facing wall. Most pitches are comparatively easy with good rests and some low-angle ground in between. Pitch description:
P1: 5.6, 12 m
P2: 5.6, 18 m
P3: 5.9-, 28 m
P4: 5.7, 30 m
P5: 5.7, 30 m
P6: 5.8, 28 m
Pitches 1 and 2 can easily be linked with a 70 m rope and ~15 draws. Continue slightly left from there (Blue Line splits off to right) up a nice little arête, the crux and money pitch (P3).
Getting down: 5 x 30 m raps (70 m rope recommended, combine p2 and p1). Angle to climber's left below P3 to find the P2 anchor.
