Hey, I'm looking for a topo of the route blue line in Escalera Suiza but can't find anything online, anyone have one or able to explain how to get on the route?
Thanks.

Hi

Climb the first couple of pitches of Los Arcangeles (4+) and the route begins here. The line starts up between Los Arcangeles and the 2nd pitch of Chilona. The name (Blue Line) and an arrow is clearly written on the rock. Hope this helps?

Actually, just one more question. Can you remember how many pitches of 5/5+ there were on the route?

In reply to Fellover: Did it last week. Follow the shiny bolts!

I'd say there were a handful of sections of 5, but the majority of the route was 4 or below. Bit scrappy in the middle pitches but a grand day out. Wear comfy shoes!
