Description

Double creature features! This is the left crack
Climbers left side lost llama

P1 5.9- pg13 40m large body witdth corner with wierd start summit the extra large block, pull around right side by a small tree then straight to the top, dirty top out not recommended but needed for a true full ascent of the wall. Easy to skip or top rope if you rap into this route. yellow c3 needed at the top of this pitch, other narrow gear like a small tricam may work the z4 .3 was too large

P2 5.8+ 20m short sweet crack excellent small gear the whole way belay on trees or ample options for rock gear.

P3 5.8 55m you may choose to break this into two pitches? left excellent corner from the ledge large gear very helpful we had up to number 5cam superb climbing kinda in the shade even when sun is hitting wall

P4 40m 5.7+ step climbers left from the top of p3 looking for excellent 10ft crack start here then quickly step right onto the face stay slightly right of the arete and at the top step left over the arete and straight up on easing Terrain

Location

From razor point head climbers left along the wall, rappel fat Mexican quack route or continue left then making a switchback to steep dirt scramble this brings you to the base of fat Mexican quack area straight down hill and slightly skiers right with a little bush whacking see photo topo
