Description Suggest change

Make some hard moves at the start to get established on the route. Nice to pre-clip the first bolt and easy to scramble up the ledge left of the route to do so. Continue upward making an awkward traverse left, and continue to the anchors making a few more tricky moves.

While it's nice to climb something overhanging of a more moderate grade at Palomas, this route is so amazingly contrived that it only gets 1 star from me. Perhaps the crux of the route is not moving 2 feet left to stand on the pillar for the first two bolts.

Location Suggest change

Leftmost route at Palomas, around corner from previous climbs.

Protection Suggest change

4 bolts, anchor with lowering hooks (lowering hardware added 9/2023 by NMMC, provided by ASCA).
