Rockfax Description
A stunning route that is packed with high quality climbing.
Approach - Make a second tricky scramble up from the grassy bay. Alternatively, and better, make an easy traverse in from below sector Suizo - see p.67.
1) 5c, 45m. A long pitch up the lower face.
2) 6c+, 22m. Some steep tufa gains thin wall climbing.
3) 7a, 25m. A very sustained, thin wall.
4) 6a+, 30m. The wall above soon eases.
5) 6c+, 30m. A fine pitch with the difficulties in its first half.
6) 6a, 25m. Climb diagonally left to the belay at the start of the last easy pitch of Corazon quer no siente. Abseil from here or continue to gain the top and walk/scramble descent.
7) 3c, 35m. A long easy pitch to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The first pitch length in the rock fax guide is totally wrong it’s more like 30m. We abbed off with a 70m rope and it was more than long enough | βeta? | |

βeta: pitches 4 and 6 should be 6b+ and 6b respectively. Pitch 3 was fantastic! sustained and technical. All the other pitches seemed to have a defined crux at the start. Some loos rock on pitches 1 and 6. | βeta? | |
