Good route for warming up and practice placing gear. Last pitch is the best! First pitch requires a bit of route finding skills.

P1) Scramble up easy terrain. Belay at a big boulder (5.5, 50m). (Anchor is slung boulder + 1 bolt)

P2) Continue up and left, following corners diagonally (5.7, 40m). Three bolt anchor.

P3) Follow the same dihedral / corner for another long pitch until you reach the "sail" aka summit (5.8, 45m). Three bolt anchor.

DESCENT: Rappel the route.

Variation! From the top of the route (i.e. next to La Proa), head right up the system of doubles cracks for some fun, well-protected airy climbing. The local guide book puts this pitch at 6a, though it felt more like 5+ at most. There´s a variety of cracks and boulders with which to build an anchor at the top, and you can then traverse unprotected across a large ledge to Black Titer Dike and continue up, or rappel down on the easy-to-find bolted anchors.

The route works its way up an evident dihedral of varied inclination, and finishes next to a huge rock called "proa" (meaning prow in Spanish).

The descent is down the same route. Doubles needed! Beware of getting your rope caught in cracks (better to rappel with the backpack method rather than tossing the rope).

Standard rack of Camalots (#.3 to #3), nuts and two 60-meter ropes.

All belays have bolts, except the first which is done using a big boulder. The ones in the second station are a bit rusty.
