Aesthetic and clean, El Face-o-Diablo will somehow leave you feeling a little dirty?
Deceptively difficult! What looks like a walk in the park, climbs more like a mugging. A thin and slippery start greets the unsuspecting climber. Hard to hold on to, the beginning for most will unleash a brutal beating. Thin crimps, shallow side-pulls, awkward feet, and off-balance movement make this more of a battle than a climb. If you can make it to the first bolt, keep your guard up, its not over!
Most always run as a top-rope, this route can be and has been led ground-up after multiple laps and much rehearsal as the first bolt is well above the crux moves and about 15-18 feet high.
Location
Set a few feet right of El Cracko Diablo, this route is the clean and cut face with bolts connecting to the same anchor.
Protection
Three bolts and an a shared chain anchor. If top roping, the upper bolts serve as invaluable directionals.
