Description Suggest change

Beautiful natural line up the North face of La Vieja with all gear anchors to the summit.

  • P1 (5.8): A varied and enjoyable crack system to a hanging belay under the roof.
  • P2 (10b/c): Pull the lieback roof into a wide squeeze chimney (helmet sized) with holds on the face to bypass to an enjoyable 5.9 protectable offwidth.
  • P3 (5.9): An enjoyable delicate traverse leads to face and an exposed arete to the summit with funky gear.

(Note: comments reference old description that listed 4 pitches, but book and best experiences do it in 3)

Protection Suggest change

Double rack to #3, single #4 and an optional #6 if you want to protect the wide chimney immediately after the roof crux.

All gear anchors until summit. Rappel down the face.
