Basil’s House of Healing

"Basil’s House of Healing" is considered, by historians, to be the first real hospital ever established. It was founded by the Christian bishop Basil the Great in 370. The route goes up beautiful, solid stone with plenty of good gear options. The start is a little easier, and the difficulty increases gradually all the way to the top. An anchor can be built with small gear in the crack atop the ledge, but I hope to install a bolted anchor soon.

Despite the bullet hard rock, the route took over an hour to clean. It hosted a few good-sized bushes, some loose rock, and lots of lichen. It's conceivable that this route had been climbed at some point in the past, but the condition I found it in makes me doubt that, and there is no prior documentation of an ascent.

This route stands alone and is located about 30 yards left of Twelve Pack proper.
