Description

This is a nice line with some interesting climbing and spots of friable rock. The second ascent was done with a rope and gear, and the report is that the gear is not that great.

Location

Forty feet right of El Camino Royale is a left-facing corner/flake system capped by an overhang 80 feet up. Climb the corner system and sometimes the slab to its left to get up to and over the jug haul overhang. Belay after the overhang, and finish on the upper section of El Camino Royale.

Protection

A standard rack.

Did this by accident in sneakers early in my Flatirons career. Now I carry rock shoes on all new routes. Oct 7, 2024
