good rest before the crux

Description awesome sustained tech climbing, the better you are at stemming the easier this is gonna be, up to a crux thats in a right facing dihedral, move out of this to a good right hold (easier if your ape index is ++) then easier climbing to anchors (at ledge with tree)
Location 6' to the right of Don Quixote
Protection 12 bolts? plus chains

| I thought this was slightly harder than "Don Quixote" but not hard enough to be a 5.12. I think it's right on the boarder line of 11+/12-. Danes guide says the first ascent was made by Marco Curti, Rolando Larcher, Fabio Leoni, Paola Fanton and Luca Leoni in 1998. Talk about a group effort. |

| This is a really good route with the crux moves near the top of the pitch. Big fun. |
