Tengo De La Muerte

V10, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3.8 from 15 votes
FA: Nik Oklobzjia
Minnesota > Sandstone > Eldon

Description

Compression power enduro block. Start right hand on crimp, left hand on the blocky feature farther down. Get to the mini-jug at the base of the arete, then compress to the top. Stand start (aka where the compression begins) is V6/7.

REMEMBER:
-If it has rained in the past 24 hours, do not climb at Eldon.
-Wipe your shoes off before you climb.
-Leave no trace. Erase tick marks. Pack out any trash, yours or others'.

Location

Hard to find. To the right of Helke V3. To the left of the old road; about 20 yards away. Look for a slab that is on a rectangular boulder which sits on a sort of self. This is the Tengo slab, aka Lean With It, Rock With it. Tengo is just to the left of the slab, starting down in the hole.

Protection

3-4 pads due to the rocks/trees on hill.

[Hide Comment] The route description here starts a move in. The actual start to Tengo is with right hand on crimp, left hand on the blocky feature farther down. But hey, you're only cheating yourself. How does it feel to sleep on that BED OF LIES? Feb 10, 2017
