BETA PHOTO: Sparkling Give-away. Start with La Cosita, Left, d...


Description 

This is a fun route that can be top-roped after leading La Cosita Left or Right or it can be led. (Although we didn't lead it that day it seems like it would be a fairly civilized lead.) It starts by climbing the chimney of La Cosita Left. When you get to a finger crack that angles out right take that past a piton (additional gear can be placed along the traverse). After finishing the traverse go straight up past two bolts and finish at a two-bolt rappel anchor.


Location 

This route is just to the right of La Cosita, Left.


Protection 

There is a pin on the hand-traverse and then two bolts. You may want gear before the pin and after the second bolt. There's a two-bolt rappel anchor at the top.
