Description Suggest change

The center of Mallo Pison has the Cueva de la Virgen to mark the start of the route. I shot straight up at 6c bouldery start. The first three pitches were good and then the long slightly overhung 45m fourth pitch saw me fall up it. I was grateful to see new bolts were added or replaced between the old ones. The sixth and crux pitch (the 4th felt harder to me but it's longer) has a bit of a traverse at the end after the crack ends. My partner fell at the start after pulling the last piece. She pendulumed almost to my anchor (unprotected traverse about 30-40 feet) and was stopped by a tiny knob. Bring a strong partner.

Location Suggest change

Walk through town to the base of Mallo Pison south face near it's center and look for a shallow cave with the Virgin Mary statue inside. Route starts here.
