Jetsam at Sector Xorics

Description 

A fairly fun, steep start, leads to lower angle slabbing then a steeper finish at the anchor.

Crux may be getting past the second bolt, or, thereabouts.

Location 

Located just left of the groove/pillar of El Vigilant de la Platja and left of the deeper crack left of that route too (finishes on the ramp to the left of that deeper crack/groove).

To the right of the fine looking face of Captain Nemo

Starts up a steep face to a slight traverse to the left.

Rappel/lower down route.

Protection 

Bolt protected and purportedly recently rebolted.

8 or so quickdraws not including anchor.

Note: the third and fifth bolts are loose, as in, the nut is cinched all the way down but the bolt/stud has pulled out of the hole a bit, leaving the hanger loose and the bolts wobbling in the holes. A bit disconcerting.

This route has its own anchor (Rockfax guide shows it sharing El Vigilant's anchor).
