Description

This tantalizing face left of the iconic Virgin painting has been coveted by climbers for decades. A single, '90s era bolt, halfway up the face, indicates that someone had tried this in the past, but the details are unknown to me. The individual holds are surprisingly positive, but moving between them on the gently overhanging streak isn't child's play. The crux involves 2 boulder problems separated by a good clipping hold (second bolt) and culminates in a long deadpoint that makes for a formidable redpoint crux.

Location

In the "main area" with the Virgin Painting, step a couple paces left of Los Hermanos de la Penitente, and spot an overhanging black streak with small features.
