Description
This is the chimney with hand and fist cracks in the very back of The Vatican. It's a bit on the chossy side, so make sure your belayer is wearing a helmet and paying attention.
In previous editions of Frank's guide, it sorta looks like this pitch is labeled La Puerta, but based on the description that's actually the flake/rail on the right wall, not the crack in the corner. I think this crack is most likely Sandra's second pitch. The ring pitons match those on Sandra P1, and it's really the most obvious weakness to follow up this section of the wall if you're aiming to hit the ridge line eventually, so I would assume this is the line they took.
