Description

Motörhead was one of the first routes of Eldorado. It's THE classic line which follows an obvious crack system.

Descent is by walk off, down a gully to the right of the wall.

Location

Main wall on the middle to left side. The start is marked

Protection

All anchors are equipped with two bolts. Additional you'll find 30-35 bolts. A set of Rocks and Camelots (o.3-3) complements the fixed pro.

Possibly the best rock-climb in Europe?

Double ropes useful in case abseil retreat is necessary. Jun 21, 2011
