Description About 50 meters past Black Slabbeth and Manly Bulges (13b/c through a black bulge), Oscar de la Cholla is the first route left of a brushy alcove. It starts with some easy face climbing, and then follows a line of bolts left of a crack. The crack goes from hands to fist and down to fingers, and the route offers an abundance of holds on the face as well. A ledge at the fourth bolt provides a good rest before launching into the sustained moves above.
A great warmup and a fine moderate lead.
Protection Seven bolts.

| Great route for taking a break from the 10s or working up to them. It has big hands and feet with good rests-fun; but, a bolted crack? |

| Big jugs, fun jug haul? You guys sure your on the right route? Everything felt like an open handed side-pull to me. If your use to this style of climbing you might find it easier. Pretty heady for the 5.9 leader. |

| It was decent. The 5.9 immediately to the right of this route was better we thought. Pretty polished down low. |
