Me on the sweet pockets of Gaucho. Audry belaying...


Description 

This is my favorite 5.10 route at Wild Iris. The route consists of big moves between large pockets on an overhanging wall. This pumpy route ends at a small ledge, with a difficult move to clip the anchor. Being tall helps...


Location 

Gaucho is the right most route on the main wall. There is a new route to the right on the arete. Zorro (5.11d) follows the black streak just to the left.


Protection 

7-8 bolts

I'm only 5'8, and I definitely found clipping the anchors tough! Fortunately you can hang out on a small ledge and thrutch while trying to clip them like I did....

Pumpy route for sure!

Great! 2nd Andy's Comments on the clipping the anchors, and I'm just over 5'9".
