Ananathema

Climb through a few constrictions and bulges with fun movement to the flaring chimney crux. The constrictions that are at the top and the bottom of this chimney section were all that were protectable with my gear set from micros to Merlin #8. It may take a Merlin #10 or a gold Big Bro #5, but I just ran it out. Pop up onto the shelf above the last constriction and climb the final 20-30 feet of low 5th class to a top-out with a great view. Walk off to the left.

There is no record of this being climbed in the past, but if you have any info on prior ascents, the first ascentionists, or the original name for the route, then please let me know and I will update this page. Thanks!

Look for the obvious wide crack between La Llarona 5.7 and Secret Passage 5.10a (between #10 and #11 on page 54-55 of the newest guidebook).

Gear to 9”.
