Location
Start down low at the far right end of the Outrage Wall at a small alcove (about 5 meters left of La Prima Vez). The route trends up and left for the last three pitches.
The descent can be a little tricky as this route ends above overhanging terrain. The following descent description is taken from Ed and Tami Wright's guidebook and it worked well for us: "Climb down the left (west) side of the summit block to the top anchors on Fit For Life. The first person to descend must clip the single rope through all the bolts in order to reach the anchors on the ledge. Remember to tie the end of the rope to the anchor. The second person then ties on another rope and rappels on two ropes to retrieve the quickdraws. Once level with the ledge, pull in on the fixed rope. Easier to avoid the last pitch then rap 1 pitch then swing onto Afro Juan".
