Description
A good 4 pitch climb that gets progressively harder every pitch. Possibly 5.10d on the upper crux, but protected well. Amazing views and sunshine early in the morning. Pitches are all 28-30m with bolts. Bring alpine slings and quickdraws. Careful with loose rock on the lower two pitches. Rappel the route or do the Correr Tras el Viento finish to the right then walk off the ledges or rap into another route nearby. The rappel of P2 is a real rope stretcher if using a 60m! It's best to rappel into Correr Tras el Cuento to be safe.
Location
Consult the photo topos. Hike up to the base of Ruaj de Jonah area and locate the Media Luna crack up and right. From the base of Ruach de Jonah walk the ledge to the nice flat base of Media Luna. Look for the name plaque.
Protection
All bolts, rap rings set up for a single 60m rope rappel.
P1 is easy scrambling with a couple 4th or low 5th class moves to warm up on. Careful of loose rocks on the ledges.
P2 5.6 to 5.8 climbing that tries to avoid loose rock by going left then back right. The upper portion is solid slab climbing.
P3 is more delicate face climbing with some 5.9-5.10a moves.
P4 has incredible, really fun, harder 5.10a/b moves with a sweet 5.10c/d final face section.
There is an alternate finish that avoids the 5.10c/d pitch. Climb the last pitch of Correr Tras el Viento to the right. It is simple 5.7ish climbing.
