Nazca Line

Nazca Line is follows kind of a strange and interesting line, and frankly one of my least favorite routes here. It has a pretty heady feel to it in spots, especially starting pitch 3. get ready for an adventure!

P1. Start at the

Knossos

two tier bivy spot on the right side of the north facing saddle routes. Nazca Line follows the black bolts right of

Knossos

. note that there is a point on pitch 2 that you can join up with the upper section of P2 of

Knossos

, via a straight traverse left.

The gold rock at the end of pitch one feels unusually slick.

Pitch two eases off a bit to end on a good ledge, where the anchors are hard to spot.

P3. traverse the ledge/ramp right and around the corner. the first bolt is a ways up there, and a scary second clip! 5.9+

P4-5. keep following your nose and bolts up the steep weakness. good pitch.

Bolts. Two ropes for rap. This route can be a nightmare to rap, unless you pay attention to some other rap stations. Probably best to rap

Minoan Maze

or

Riders in the Sky
