Description:

Start a few feet right of the belay station of Calypso. Follow a finger crack up to a large ledge with a boulder resting on it. Try not to look like a beached whale while fitting into the crack made by the resting boulder. Finish by scrambling right to a set of rappel bolts or climb to the belay ledge of Calypso and climb pitch three of Calypso

5 out of 5 stars Tricky Crux

Did P1 Calypso to get to this gem. I seconded this route by moonlight sans headlamp. Made for a memorable time. Pretty scary second traverse at the end. I found it was easiest to not do the beached whale thing, but rather smear to get the solid high right foot on the large block to your right and pull an easy (but exposed) mantle move to straddle the block.
