Magellan's Voyage (direct)
Description
Magellan's Voyage goes up the separate golden wall on the far left above the ocean. This description is for the newer finish that goes straight up towards the anchors, and skips the original 5.10a rightward traverse
P1. 5.8 Climb "No Man's Land" and stop at the first anchor (two decent old bolts and one new)
P2. 5.10a/b Steep slab with great pockets and edges 5.8-5.10a. Near the top, skip the traverse, and continue straight up with one or two 5.10b moves.
P3. 5.4 R Optional top out pitch. Leave a chord anchor if you'd like to rappel and retrieve it on the hike out.
Recently rebolted with titanium. The original bolts are actually in somewhat decent condition (for now), but they did not protect any of the crux moves. The new bolts are more appropriately located. The old bolts are still there, feel free to clip them or ignore them.
Descent: Belay from the top and do two raps, stopping at the Ahab Slab anchor.
Location
Starts in a big hole just left of the major arch.
Protection
I think it is 8 or 10 bolts
