Pope on Dope

This is a nice, sport route up the middle of the second buttress of Mt Thoridin about 1 pitch up. Hike about 1 hour from Panorma Point dropping into the drainage and then angling cross-country to the crag.

P1. Approach via 1st pitch of

Papal Bull

/

Mr. Misty

and angle in from the left to the start or via 1st pitch of

Pope on a Rope

, 5.8, and angle in from the right to the start OR rappel in from the top of the crag with 2 ropes.

P2. Dance up a nice, less-than-vertical slab past 8 bolts. Decipher a thin crux between the 5th and 6th bolts.

Rap twice 100 feet and 160 feet or climb to the top of the crag with natural pro.

A standard rack, 60m rope nice, and doubles to rappel.
