Description 

Esplanada involves multiple sequential cruxes and varied climbing, never letting off much. Starts off with steeper pocket cranking and ends with techincal crimpy slab climbing. Great moves - once you've read the line correctly.

Location 

Located on the far right section of the 'pretty' rock at the FCR just before the Big Kahuna Pillar. Everything right of the obvious Escape from the Pod (10c) is the 'Grasshopper Wall'. On this wall, starting from the far right (the short and fun 5.11a Little Smokey), Esplanada is the 5th independent line to the left. It begins in a shallow dihedral.

Protection 

8 bolts to anchors.
