Raven Maniac
Description
Easily one of the best routes on Mount Lemmon. This seemingly endless route doesn't have a move harder than 11+ but it is has 130 feet of overhanging 5.10 and 5.11 climbing which makes it one of the most sustained at any grade on the mountain. The first set of anchors is for a single rope descent. If you stop at the first set of anchors you are cheating yourself of a great experience.
Location
On the Ravens near the top of Mt. Lemmon. It is on Raven B in the chimney between Raven B and Raven C. Descend the east side of the Ravens. See Squeezing the Lemmon III for the approach. The Start is the same as Swing Set 5.11 but takes the left hand bolt line. To get down with one rope (70M) lower to the first set of anchors. Clip in and untie, pull your rope, re-thread, retie your knot, then finish lowering to the ground. Tie a knot if you have an 80M and walk up the hill so the climber can reach the ground.
