Rockfax Description
Not the knee trembler it once was! It has been re-equipped and the hard sections are now well protected although still expect a few run-outs on easier stuff. Start by locating the first bolt that is about 15m up the wall, above two canalizos, little half drain-pipe features. The route is pretty well bolted and you should be able to join the dots relatively easily.
1) 4c, 60m. Climb up to the bolt and follow the well-spaced bolts above to the first belay.
2) 6a+, 50m. Leave the belay to the right via some 5a climbing to reach a hidden bolt at 10m. The rock is sharp so climb with confidence and don't fall. Above this, spaced bolts take you to a final challenging but well protected move left to the next belay.
3) 4c, 50m. Head up trending slightly right, taking care not to be enticed left on a neighbouring route. Good gear can supplement the bolts on this pitch.
4) 6a, 50m. Cross a grassy area to the right to a bolt. Climb up to a small and difficult overlap. Carry on to a ledge with a corner to the right.
5) 5c, 50m. Move up and left to reach a spur, this is a junction with Garrido-Zapata. Follow the spur and then carry on over terraces sandy rock to the top.
