Description

Variation of Conquistadors without Swords 13b. Start on Malibu (start of conquistadors under water). climb first 3 bolts and cut right into conquistadors. At the 2nd bolt on the headwall after the no hands midway up, cut right onto the arete and clip 2 new bolts after which it does the same ending as conquistadors.

Location

Variation of Conquistadors but easier.

[Hide Comment] I second Monica’s sentiment. This thing is super fun and killer climbing! The section it shares with conquistadors is a bit crunchy but solid, but the cruxy arete at the top has amazing rock. taking whippers over the water is also fun and unique. Jan 28, 2022
