Description
Minoan Maze is uper sustained with great position and exposure! This works as a variation to Knossos for the last two pitches, though it starts further to the left, but I don't remember it as well.
P1-2. Climb Knossos.
P3. From the tight ledge, continue up to the left-leaning, left-facing corner. Make a rising traverse left. Try to stay low on the traversing moves and watch for drag. There are many bolts on this pitch (24 or so), as the pitch feels almost a full 200' but may be as short as 150'. The hanging belay is exposed.
P4. From the belay, move up, and make a committing step right over a small headwall with a short section of crumbly rock (5.8) Look for a line of bolts paralleling a left-facing corner. Follow the line of bolts past one anchor (at about 75 feet out from the belay) to the final (summit/saddle) anchor over increasingly easier terrain, ~130 feet.
