Ascent Notes for: Mark of the beast - 5.8 popular Average Rating : 4.40/5

Excellent route to take someone to practice a multi-pitch.

Good link for setting along rap with a short rope:

First multi pitch for me and i think its a good start for newbies. Kinda a one move wonder but still a fun experience

Finally got to do the second pitch of this, as I've done the 1st and 3rd during various other outings. Climbed out to walk out over the top and climbed with a full pack on. Finished up the water groove, which is great.

Really fun with spacious bolts.

BTW you can't rapel off this route with a 70 meter rope. I was not told this until I was at the first belay station. We went to the top and then traversed over 2 anchors stations and were able to rapel in 2 35 meter descents.

summit speaks...

Took a party of 3 up the climb in the dark.. we were hiking off the top at 11pm.. it was awesome..

First climb of the day. Got there early to beat the heat. should be rated a 5.5... i guess the part directly to the left of belay station is 5.8ish. ran up the last pitch.

Got here early at like 730 and climbed before the sun got hot. I took the first pitch and Matt took the second.. Good easy climb and the second belay is a great place to chill and enjoy the view.. will take the girlfriend here in fall to her first trip ever to erock to climb this climb..cool way to make the first trip to the top of erock..
