La Madre Flu

5.9, Sport, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 8 votes
FA: Thomas Gilmore and Josh Diggs
Nevada > Southern Nevada > La Madre Range > Lake Mead Buttress

Description

This is a single pitch climb to the right of the first pitch of Land Before Time. This pitch can serve as an approach pitch to any of the ledge routes or be a stand alone pitch. Quality gray limestone similar to the rest of LMB. The anchors are set for rappel so either lower/rappel or continue on to another route.

Location

From the Base of Contagion, continue left past a short scramble to the prow, continue past the prow to your left and follow along the base of the wall to an obvious gully with 2 bolted routes to the right of the gully. La Madre Flu is the right most (first line encountered) and Land Before time is the left route which starts at an obvious crack feature.
