Comments: The first pitch of this route is the access to the fixed line to the second tier. Climb up and you're on the second pitch proper, just right of the Paparazzi arete.

Comments: Reduce rope drag by going up Abuelito dime tu and continuing straight up into the second pitch of la vaca. 60 or 70 m rope doesn't matter, you have to lower to the top of the 1st pitch then rap. Very very good route.

Comments: caughtinside is right about the 70m rope--my guidebook warns you to bring 2 ropes or a 70--but is one of a tiny, tiny minority of Cali granite climbers who just doesn't "get" limestone. Many have told me that the last pitch was their favorite!!

Comments: Don't pay attention to caughtinside. If you are expecting nothing harder than 5.9 you will be sandbagged. Nobody in his right mind will tell you that the 10th pitch is anything like the 7th, or the 3rd, or the 6th.

Comments: Did the route, had a blast, the final 5.7 pitch is fantastic climbing, 5.7,5.9 whatever, it's a stellar pitch. Moutaineering with sport bolts, fun fun fun. We rapped the route, you can learn a lot by doing this, don't be lame and short change your self on this valuable experience.

Comments: Kinda liked this route not as bad as i thought it would be from the guide book. I've clipped far worse bolts and much more runout stuff. Give it a try.

Comments: How is the drive down there once you cross into Mexico? Have never driven through Mexico, and it sounds like Juarez is NASTY right now. Just gathering info for a New Year's plans, Thank y'all!

Comments: Its morning and its not fake. We on our way to some epic climbing! I think this day, my partner and I climbed Snott Girlz which is a 7 pitch climb. That small jut or tower over the electrical pole is the top of Snott Girlz.

Comments: Would like to make a trip down 11/14 - 11/22, and my partner bailed last second. Anyone bringing odd numbers down who would like to share a ride from Colorado/New Mexico? Comfortable leading to mid 5.11 range.
