Pay special attention when traversing below the Ibrium Tower. There are a lot of loose blocks up high. Stay low here.

Did the route yesterday, pretty much as per supertopo. Simuled first 4 or 5 pitches. Noted 3 pitons near the top of pitch 11 (?) -- the loose 5.6 gully. Kind of at the start of the 40' "steep/sustained 5.7" pitch where the route rejoins the arete after the Ibrium tower.

Caughtinside and I retooled that exact anchor last season. Good to hear the stopper is still there; the pitons are good, but (fairly obviously) old.

When you come to the sketchy seeming rap station, continue on exposed trail a ways further right and down, and eventually, you'll come to a pretty solid rap station of a large block w/ good new slings (presently) backed up to nut on the wall behind.

Do the thin crack that splits the tower. It's not too hard and has great exposure. Lots 'o fun.

I just got this beta from a supertopo user:
We climbed Moon Goddess on Saturday. I have the corrections for the topo and suggestions. It was 4:10 from car to start climbing. We finished the 15th, 4:30 later and passed two parties. Fifteen hours round trip with a nap at Third Lake. The times are about right.
The topo detail of the upper pitches is misnumbered. They should be 12 to 15. Also, 12 to 15 angles up more than indicated and is not a flat traverse. I was going up and over or around blocks with dropoffs on both sides. Pitch 11 is more steps and ledges, and did not appear as a wide gulley.
The best descent rappel anchor goes directly to the highest point at Contact Pass. There were a couple including a ring piton setup. (How old is that?)

*What is "Route Beta"?
It's climber slang for information or tips on a route as in, "what's
the beta on that route?" As a service to fellow climbers we ask SuperTopo
guidebook users to post tips and updates to this website if they have relevant
information to share after a climb.
