Anchor stolen from Cave / Per Elisabetta Ext

[Anonymous]

Yesterday I decided to do the two pitches of Per Elisabetta in one go. First pitch is a nice 7a, second pitch was not worth the effort.

However, an ugly route does not justify stealing the anchor! At the end of the second pitch two screw threads remain where once an anchor was… so I had to downclimb.

Maybe it’s better to remove all bolts of the second pitch but removing the anchor is stupid and dangerous.

I used the TheSend app “KalymnosTopo” which stated that the anchor should be even further up left. Grade in this app was 7b, which it is certainly not.

In the new 2019 Aris topo the route joins the neighbouring anchor, but I saw this too late.
