Aquarius

This route was retro-bolted by the first ascent party in the fall of 2020 to make it safe for 5.7 leaders. Start approximately 40ft to the right of Groundhog day below two bolts leading to a small overhang. While there are several bolts on every pitch some gear is required to protect the route and a single rack of cams from .3-2" and a handful of nuts are recommended along with 9-10 draws/slings.

P1: Clip two bolts below a steep step (5.6), which leads to two more bolts easier terrain. Trad gear is required around the steeper step. (100ft).

P2: Climb up and left up a slab (5.4) past 5-bolts. A steeper slab move right below the anchors (5.7) on a large ledge. Many climbers will place 1-2 pieces of gear on this pitch (100ft).

P3: Walk across the ledge to the right. The pitch involves some fun and sustained face climbing (5.7). There are 8-bolts on this pitch but a few key finger-sized placements in a pod earlier on the pitch keep it safe. (100ft).

To descend, rap the route, a single 60m rope will get you down.

Starts 20' right of Groundhog Day, and stays to the right of it.

Small rack to 2". Much of the climbing is easy and somewhat run-out. All anchors are 2-bolts with chains.
