Description Suggest change

Aesthetic and clean, El Face-o-Diablo will somehow leave you feeling a little dirty?

Deceptively difficult! What looks like a walk in the park, climbs more like a mugging. A thin and slippery start greets the unsuspecting climber. Hard to hold on too, the beginning for most will unleash a brutal beating. Thin crimps, shallow side-pulls, awkward feet, and off-balance movement make this more of a battle than a climb. If you can make it to the first bolt, keep your guard up, its not over!

Most always run as a top-rope, this route can be led, rehearsal is advised as the first bolt is well above the crux moves and about 15-18 feet high.

Location Suggest change

Set a few feet right of El Cracko Diablo, this route is the clean and cut face with bolts connecting to the same anchor.

Protection Suggest change

Three bolts and an a shared chain anchor. If top roping, use draws and the bolts which serve as invaluable directionals.
