Tethys 5.8+, 2 pitches, fully bolted. The crux is the steep bit just before half way up. The rest is 5.6 or less. Fun route.

Rapping off Tethys.

Getting acquainted to slab climbing at Texas Canyon.

A climbing party at the P2 anchor of "Tethys," NW shoulder of the Elephant Head.

Natalie, Mona and Chad at the belay on Tethys.

The new P2 anchor for Tethys. The rope pulls as smooth as butter from the P1 anchor of Tethys or Kronos. No more need to traverse to the Cascada anchor to descend..

New 25 kn (5620 lbf) hanger on the 6th bolt of "Tethys." This 3/8" wedge/stud bolt has been replaced with a 1/2" Powers 5-piece bolt and is history..

Climbers on P1 of Tethys.

A leader looking for the next bolt on Tethys.

Anchors at the top. I took out a small old rusty quick link and added a big one and a rap ring. It's still a mess but is a little better.

Roger following near the end of p1 on Tethys.

The first pitch on Tethys. The north entrance to the First Cooridor is on the left side of this photo.

Pitch 1 & 2 combined

This is a Crows nest, not a Peregrine.

This is the Crow's nest above and right of the P1 anchor for Tethys. This is NOT a peregrine falcon nest as has been erroneously reported. A peregrine would clear all those sticks away and use the rocky depression at the bottom (a scrape)to house the egg.
