A big step up in difficulty from Satori right off the bat. The pitches are long (close to 50m) so you will want 20 draws with some alpines and two ropes to descend. Two 50 meter ropes would be ideal for climbing and descending this route. Because of the slightly wandering nature a single 80 meter rope might work for the rappels. There are good ledges on most of the rappel/anchor stations. At the pitch 3 belay you will be standing on a palm tree ledge. All the protection bolts on this route are the originals and have surface rust on them. Anchors are equipped with chains for rappelling. The chains are also quite rusty. Pitch 4 does have a newish set of anchor bolts. There is lots of loose rock on ledges and plenty of annoying plants in the way of the climbing and almost every pitch.
Location
Located to the right of Satori by ~10-15 meters.
Hike up the mining road for a couple of minutes and turn left on the trail for El Bobo. Follow the red painted arrows/dots up past El Bobo (the dunce-hat-shaped formation) and continue up the third class ridge. When you get to the red arrows pointing in different directions head right for the Zapatista route and straight for 3 Stone Place (and Satori).
