Description
This is a new route, rocks and debris will surely come down for the first couple years, so please: WEAR A HELMET and be conscious of who is below you.
I spent two months cleaning this line, and got help, and was entertained by countless climbers during the process. We had some epic trundling sessions on this thing, always early in the morning, before climbers were out, with lookouts for people coming up the stairs. One block that I cleaned up high (now a rockscar with a finger crack) was the biggest I'd ever trundled in 20+ years of first ascents.
Mark Grundon helped me bolt this. (And he also flew down with the Fixe bolts that I had to order last minute.) What a guy.
Michelle Garza got the first free ascent. She is born and raised in Hidalgo. This was her first, "first ascent". Congrats Michy :)
