βeta: Rockfax topo is wrong for last 2 pitches. Beginning of p7 shown on topo as second half of p6 is in reality blank bolted slab that looks around 6c/7a. Description could be clearer too: 5) 5, 20m. Climb the groove on the right. At its top either climb up left or go direct (harder) to a cave; *belay possible on bolts on the left, no bolted belay on the right side of the cave*. 6) 5, 15m. Follow the arete on the right and move left to belay *on the right side of another cave*. 7) 5+, 30m. Climb up right then move leftwards, *clipping two bolts*. *Make a few hard moves (for the grade; aidable) to the obvious left-trending corner.* Climb *the corner* to an arete and follow this to the abseil station. As for the beginning, I clearly went the wrong way, but I hear there is an arrow etched in the rock. Spanish topos show it to the left of the tree. | βeta? | |
