Description

La Felicidad is a great route with big moves on good holds out a steep cave. The route starts in the cave and follows tufa's, side pulls, underclings and buckets to the top of the cave entrance. This is a good warm up for the harder routes in the main cave.

Location

Felicidad is located in the small cave to the left of the Tecolote Cave. There are only two routes in this cave right now and Felicidad is on the right side of the cave.

[Hide Comment] This got 11b on the rack-up guide.. I felt it was pretty stout for that, but 11c seems fair. Steep 3d climbing on giant holds. Feels like Kalymnos. May 24, 2018
