Porters and guides leading us on the approach. Araguato King ascends the left skyline. The woman's backpack was made entirely of natural materials - sticks and plant material that the locals use for rope.

Luis trying to find the way through a sea of overhangs on P3 of the FA. We weren't sure if we would find passage, but Luis did a great job of finding a WILD 11b overhanging traverse. An ultra-classic pitch.<br> The Diamond-roof is the first one visible on the right. The traverse ends above this roof at a great belay ledge (the Flying Alcove).
Me traversing at the end of P3 about to get into the Flying Alcove. The picture does not do this pitch justice. There's nothing but air for a long ways under me.
Meghan and Eric at the start of P4, on the Flying Alcove.
Meghan and Luis test driving transportation for the approach.
The line of Jardinero De Grandes Paredes is shown in green. Araguato King in Red. 'R' indicate bolted anchors, 'G' gear anchors (can be avoided by linking long pitches, but rope drag may be quite nasty!). <br> For the descent, rap line down to 'D', a bolted anchor from Jardineros.

Luis on the route's crux. Nice overhanging 11c crux with a clean fall and bomber easy to place gear.
Eric starting pitch 4, into the unknown. Thankfully the unknown was 10a-ish.
