About The Acropolis:
| Large 600+ft Wall. Park at the end of Carney Springs road. Only a 2 1/2 hour hike up hill gets you to the wall. Remember to diagonal up talus to avoid small cliffs under the wall..Just before the wall avoid scrambling up a lower headwall to reach the ledge where Odyssey and South Face start, approach the ledge from the west side of the wall. Decent: Hike North-Northwest you will come to a first gully right before a small hill you want to keep hiking up hill and to next gully that drops down. Their is no clear trail and its sustained with a few obstictals. Towards the lower section of the gully your going to hike down on the right side. If your packs are up on the ledge where the Odyssey /South Face starts be sure not to miss turn off to the ledge. |
