Description Suggest change

Street Dog Fight, WI 5, M5, 70M 
FA: 7/11/18 
Matthew Ward (Garden City, ID USA) Matt Hopkins (Bozeman, MT USA) Robert Rauch (Mittenwald, Bavaria)

In the photo with the two parallel ice lines, Matt, Robbie and I climbed out of the cave through an obvious crack that leads to where the dagger adheres to the upper wall. The pillar was only body sized in width so making this a mixed route seemed the only thing appropriate. Though only 3 meters total of mixed rock, you will find good placements for smaller cams and nuts with a solid fixed pin from the FA. Climb out onto the ice and get on cruiser WI 5 that mellows to 4 through a runnel of beautiful rock and ice to another snow ledge, belay there. The last pitch (3) or (2) depending on how you scrambled to the cave below, you climb mellow WI3 ( 30 Meters ) to a boulder field. There you may find a rock slung and used as a chock stone with orange/yellow cord that I used for a rappel.

Location Suggest change

When taking a Kombi to the Refugio from La Paz you pass the lake, Laguna Pota Kkota just before you get dropped off. During a melt freeze season you will see the three climbs which look like really delaminated smears on the rocks bands below Huayna Potosi. Street Dog Fight is the highest from the lake whereas the other two are closer to the lake shore on a lower cliff band. 

Protection Suggest change

Screws, smaller cams, pins, peckers, cord.
