MapPopeye Meets The Burrito Master
Description
"Popeye" is one of, if not THE, most popular routes at The Pit. The bottom section, rated 5.9, is very popular with moderate climbers as a warm-up or beginning lead. The upper section (responsible for the 10d rating) isn't nearly as good and rarely gets done.
Take care when belaying a leader on this route as you could both take a heckuva fall if they pile off the starting moves before clipping the first bolt.
NOTE: The quality rating here refers soley to the lower 5.9 section of the route!
Location
Popeye is the left-most route that starts off the lower level of the Mall Wall. Super pocketed face.
Protection
Bolts, chains with Mussy hooks. A 60m rope can rap both pitches.
