Description Suggest change

Boulder up the lower flatiron section through horizontals to a crack system.  Follow this straight up (first crux)  to a small ledge under a roof.

Pass the roof on the right.  Move left and up through several horizontals.  Then move right and up to another roof.

Traverse right beneath the roof, heading toward a right-facing corner.  Move into the  corner on thin edges (second crux).  At the base of the corner locate a thin horizontal and protect with a ball nut.  Sling with a long runner to avoid rope drag above.

Move up the corner.  Protect with small cams/Tricams in horizontals.  Gain the ledge.

Move left on the ledge to a small tree.  From here ascend the Trans-Amazon Highway through the jungle (third crux) and finish on the ledge above.

This climb could be done in two or three short pitches for more value and less rope drag.

Named after the famous highway cut through the Brazilian rainforest in the 1970s.  First explored in Pennsylvania jungle conditions--95 degrees and humid--in summer 2024.

Location Suggest change

Left side of the main Castellan face, just right of the big Jungle Book corner.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to 3 inches. Heavy on small cams and Tricams. Small ball nuts are critical.
