Description 

Follow the thin seam on the beautiful face. There's a crux after the 2nd bolt, passed with a hard-to-see sequence, which may go both to the right or to the left off the seam. You're through the sequence as you get the 2-finger pocket and a pinch in the seam at the 3rd bolt. The difficulty eases as the angle drops back for the next 30'. Watch out for those last 2 thin moves trying to steal your redpoint when the chains are so close!

I think this is one of the later additions to Cochiti, as it's not in the early 90s Samet/Jett guidebook; therefore I have no FA info (lemme know).

Location 

Bolted climb immediately left of La Espina

Protection 

7 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor
