Description Suggest change

At exactly 20 meters of vertical mostly crimp climbing, Ela is one of the most aesthetic fun climbs in Pico Blanco.

The first half hovers around 5.9 with a V3 crux around the fourth bolt.
The second half is the beef, a 10 move sequence starting from a comfortable ledge. This section is basically long moves between one pad crimps hovering around V6 difficulty.

After reaching a comfortable rail jug hold you go into the final 13 move sequence also around v6 difficulty. The sequence starts with an undercling crux but the rest is mostly gastons and crimps.

Even though this route has been thoroughly cleaned, be aware that falling debris, crumbling feet and even broken holds can always be an hazard during tropical climbing. Recommend use of a helmet always while belaying or spending time under the line itself.
