you crack me up
Grade: 6b+

Description: Multi-pitch (P1 6b+ 35m, P2 6b+ 25m, P3 6b+ 30m, P4 6b+ 20m, P5 6a+ 20m). 6b+ obligatory. An obvious crack at the north face of Telendos. Again, a serious route with an alpine feel. Very consistent and demanding for the grade. You need to be solid for the grade and experienced in this kind of multi-pitch climb. P1: A slightly overhanging 35m monster corner.P2: A crack with a small roof at the end. P3: A small overhang and big flake. P4: A small roof and slab. P5: Wall climbing. P4 + P5 can be linked together. Gear: 80m rope; long slings; 15 QDs; helmets; locking carabiners; cellular phone. Return: Option a) Walk down the descent path of Wings for Life (2 hrs; page 471). Option b) Abseil down the route (80m rope; auto-block knot; knots at the end of the rope!). FA: Tiia Porri, Hannes Webhofer, 2013.
