BETA PHOTO: Corona and Dos Equis Wall

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Up near the center of the Corona Wall face (not Dos Equis) there is a rather obvious left-leaning crack. Climb up into this to establish a stance and start protecting. The crux comes at 8-10 meters and is reasonably protected, but the rock quality is lacking, so taking and placing extra pro is a good idea. After the crux finish directly up on a left-facing crack and flake to the top on fist-sized placements.

Scramble off or get to the anchors on Border Patrol and rap down on a single line.

Protection 

A standard rack perhaps with a few extras in the 1.5-2.5" range
