Description 

Very difficult down low with little to nothing for the feet and sidepulls for your hands. Then take a nap. Again on the upper wall more featured rock but few good holds in a corner gets you to the anchor.
I recomend Z-clipping at the anchor since the last bolt and the anchor are so close it is a pain to clip regularly and your waist is still below the last bolt anyway when you clip the anchor.


Location 

Furthest right bolted line starting on a smooth cracked face.


Protection 

Bolts and bolted anchor

Most guides have this as 5.12a, but everyone I've talked too thinks it is quite a bit harder. It is essentially 2 boulder problems separated by a no hands rest and some easy climbing.

the boulder problems, though, are each 3 to 4 bolts long, so there is some pretty good quality sustained climbing to be had. The route is 90 to 95 feet, so dont try it with a 50m rope.

We put this route up in '04 too.

This route is called merely "Ojo" as per those who put it up, not "...del Diablo"
