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.

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..

Climbers on P1 of Tethys.

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..

Natalie, Mona and Chad at the belay 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.

A leader looking for the next bolt on Tethys.

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.

Reconfigured and simplified P2 anchor on "Tethys."

This is a Crows nest, not a Peregrine.

A leader setting up for the crux of "Tethys."

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.

Spider on Tethys at the last bolt before belay at top. Proving the route can be done as one pitch with a 60 meter rope. Photo by D. Blattel, 2010.

Navigating through the knobs on "Tethys."

Chad Parker and Natalie Strasser on the summit of Tethys - Texas Canyon, CA

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.

Tethys lead.
