The wall is inaccessible during the rainy months of late winter/early spring as it is a waterfall, and the fall washes are where the best belay stations are. The Carbonera Creek is subject to extreme flash flooding increasing flow from several inches to up to 5 feet of water over minutes in surge events, as it is the stormwater catch for the entire valley's drain systems.
Description
Short but sweet.
Slab start is classic!
Thin, balancy moves off the ground lead to a heel hook that secures the first bolt. Follow some crimps of increasing depth to a bomber ledge for the second bolt. Rest up. A kneebar perhaps? Deep breaths? Do what you gotta do. Use any method of pushing, pulling, compression, and forearm scraping to pull the bulge. Clip the last bolt and launch into a full body game of inches on the delicate face to gain the ledge.
Above the ledge, a systems of cracks lead to a bolted anchor. No move harder than 5.7/5.8 after the ledge. Place a few pieces or don’t fall.
