Los Naguales

Wildly steep climbing on tufas, cracks and pockets, the wall overhangs continuously from pitch 3 to the top!

Full shade after 10:30am

p1 10a, 6 bolts

p2 11c, 12 bolts
Stem, jam and face climb a corner to a ledge. Walk left to an anchor.

p3 "Three Streaks" 12d, 13 bolts
Step off the ledge and immediately enter a burly crux through a roof.
Wander up a thin slab across a streaked wall, then pull three more distinct cruxes through the face above.

Climb a shallow corner to a left-rising traverse.
Tricky face climbing takes you to the base of a tufa

p5 13b, 8 bolts
Do some totally normal rock climbing up an obscenely overhanging tufa.
Get a good rest before launching right through the steep pumpy crux!

p6 "Two Hundred Bats" 11b, 3 bolts
Time to put those Yosemite skills to the test.

p7 12c, 12 bolts
Layback up the corner and navigate around an overhang.
A difficult move leads to another crack out left. Climb this, then traverse rightward beneath a large pillar.

An easy crack flares out into a reachy crux.
Traverse leftward on pockets and tufa pinches.
Don't blow it right at the end...

p9 13a, 12 bolts
Follow the corner and roof system to a hard move below the roof.
Save some gas for the outrageously steep jugs above!

Cut right to the arete, then follow this to the cumbre!
Keep an eye out for an optional midway anchor out left.

Descent:

Rappel the route with one 70m rope, using a midway anchor on p10 and an alternate anchor left of p7.

Or, walk 750m climber's right along the top to find a shorter and less steep rappel line.

The top of the route is at roughly: 26.157159, -100.777568

El Gavilan tops out about 50m climbers' right

From the base, begin 50m right of a distinctive orange pillar, behind a boulder.
