Agua de Coco

5.10d, Sport, 350 ft (106 m), 3 pitches,  Avg: 2.8 from 26 votes
FA: Carlos Garcia & Cecilia Buil - 1999
International > N America > Mexico > Nuevo Leon > El Potrero Chico > TNT Wall

Description

P1: 5.10d 37 meters
P2: 5.10b 33 meters 
P3: 5.10a 40~ (pass a sub anchor station) long runouts towards the top. 

A short 5.7 section at the top will take you to the ridge.

Can be rappelled with a single 70m by going straight down instead of following the traversing pitches. You cannot rappel the first pitch anchor with a single 70m so plan on going atleast to the second pitch anchors to meet up with the rappel line. 

Location

Just left of Baked Fresh Daily (on the right end of the TNT Wall).

Protection

Bolts.

[Hide Comment] 15 bolts on the first pitch and you'll use every bit of your 72 meter rope lowering Jan 25, 2017

[Hide Comment] The start of the route is just left and below the dirt platform at the base of Baked Fresh Daily and is marked by a name tag and a single belay bolt.

A sub anchor (2 Fixe rap hangers) was installed approximately half way up the third pitch in February 2015 so the climb may now be safely rapped using a single 70 m rope as follows:

2 short raps take you to the station at the top of pitch 2. One long 35m rap straight down from here enables you to reach a refurbished, semi-hanging rap station about 5m to the climber's right (left looking outwards) of the station at the top of pitch one (make sure you have stopper knots in the end of your rope!) Rap from here to ground (33m). Feb 4, 2017

[Hide Comment] You can do pitch one and two in a mega pitch with a long 70m rope. Bring something like 25 draws. Feb 25, 2019

[Hide Comment] We linked P1 and P2 with a 70m, with the belayer having to climb up about 3 feet for the climber to get the anchors. Bring 26 draws to link Mar 10, 2023
