Description
“Herodes” is a two-pitch mixed route of about 80 m in the Tower sector of Varasova. The line follows a vertical slab and a small arete, offering technical balance moves and a smooth, continuous flow. The crux (6a+) comes mid-route, short but sustained.
It has 6 bolts, one main belay, and a lower-off ring for descent. The limestone is compact and clean, providing secure placements for friends and nuts where needed.
The route blends sport-style slab climbing with the freedom of traditional protection, making it a balanced and elegant line for those who enjoy technical climbing with character and exposure.
