Sorcerer -- Mariner Traverse

CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Not really a route,

per se

, but in the event you're going to get weathered off of

Sorcerer

, this traverse allows for retreat without leaving a bunch of gear in that funky crack.

From points along the

Sorcerer

dihedral that are roughly even with the P1 anchors on

Climb of the Ancient Mariner

, it is possible to traverse the slab leftward and reach the anchors after about 20 or so feet of protection-free “5.9” slab climbing. From this bolted anchor, one can escape from the face with one ~33 meter rappel, or a 30 m rappel with a bit of 5.6 downclimbing.

Protection

None, and a fall is ill advised as it would swing you back into the

Sorcerer

corner. It's likely that anybody who has led P2 of

Climb of the Ancient Mariner

without sweating wouldn't have much trouble making the traverse safely.
