Description
Stout line that follows the steep face to the left of El Sendero Diablo. Like many of the multipitch routes in the Potrero the belays are mostly hanging, so 4 pitches of 5.11 and 5.12 climbing in the sun with the only respite being hanging from your harness is a solid undertaking.
Pitch 1: 5.11c Pretty stout warmup pitch for the route.
Pitch 2: 5.11a Easiest pitch on the route, but no gimme. Fun, overhanging, juggy climbing that moves left, then back right a bit to the belay.
Pitch 3: 5.12c The crux pitch, with the crux just nearly off the belay.
Pitch 4: 5.12a Heads up and left into the massive left facing dihedral, with an awkward move as you reach back to clip a bolt on the opposing, overhanging rightward wall. Then some fun moves around the arete to the right, up and to the final belay.
