Description
Blast up the shared start with Dragon's Breath, steep jugs, maybe 11+ or 12a, to a good rest - no hands if you can grit your teeth through a really uncomfortable kneebar.
Clip the seventh bolt and enter the crux of the route, a fierce and technical boulder problem that charges up the most stunning panel of blue limestone west of Andalucia. Squeeze water out of the pinch as you clip the ninth bolt by your ankles and cop a tenuous rest.
Get your breathing under control before you punch into the upper section of this route, which is sick, flowy, and an absolute joy to climb, although it could eat your lunch if you don't manage to rest well after the crux. A few big moves and some funky traversing on unique holds lead you to a bulge that guards the anchor. Pull over the lip and enjoy the exhilaration as a blistering pump chases you up the last few moves of Dragon's Breath before you clip the chains.
