Description Suggest change

The route is straightforward, with 5.6 climbing, solid rock, and great gear, past an admirable pile of guano (at a safe distance) and to the obvious ledge about 60' up. After that, another 20' of 5.8+ climbing following the weakness in a face brings you to the anchors.

The first 60' are quality, maybe the best 5.6 trad climbing in the area, but both first ascentionists agree that the final 20 feet are not quality and anchors should be installed at the huge ledge after 60'. As both have moved from Leadville, that work is open to anyone with the know how and desire.

Guanote is Spanish for "big guano".

Location Suggest change

Guanote is the obvious crack in a dihedral near the center of the wall. Toward the top of the obvious crack is a large cavern and above that a large ledge. You can't miss it.

Protection Suggest change

A standard rack.
