Climbs from left to right:<br> Fat Boy Slim 11b (red), Motavation 11a (green), & Motavision 10d (blue).<br> <br> As you can see from the picture, I struggled to identify climbs in this section of the wall. Hope the next party can find them a little easier now. All three are quality routes nonetheless.

[Hide Comment] The description says it all! Lots of sharp, deep pockets that you can lock off on through the majority of the climb. Crux is most definitely pulling the last two bolts to the anchor, small crimps and pretty crappy feet. Totally fun and a good climb if you are breaking into the grade. Jan 10, 2012

[Hide Comment] Not sure which route was which from King Mota to Pancho Villa... there are so many lines squeezed in here.

The pocketed routes to the right of King Mota are all excellent and felt to be roughly the same grade(5.11a/b). Jan 19, 2015

[Hide Comment] Could do with a few more bolts down low, especially because some of the clipping stances aren’t that good.

Also it looks like ther may have been some rockfall after the photo of this route was posted (maybe that explains the sparse bolts) Feb 17, 2025
