This is the beautiful crack on the overhanging North Face of La Maza.
The exposure in this route is brutal. Not only because of the constant overhang, but because the ground at the base is really is steep. Such a wonderful line!!!

The line is quite straight forward. A short easy pitch ~5.6-7 leads to a bolt and a piton. The second pitch starts with a short easy layback (kind of) which leads to a bolt ladder, from there, the wonderful crack, after which, another bolt ladder will place you in the summit (2 bolts).

To go down you can rappel 60m in the amazing overhanging north face, or 2 short (boring) rappels in the south face.

Location Suggest change

The crack is visible as soon as you see the North Face. The route starts in the chimney in the climber's left of the crack.

Protection Suggest change

Nuts and cams in small-medium sizes. I used from green alien to orange totem, a single set of friends and nuts should be enough.
