Kamera Sutra EXT

The Kamara Sutra extension is much sweeter and far easier to read and run than it's nearby nasty neighbor, Master. Not saying it's easy, just that it flows better, moves are more obvious, gravity weaker...

Climb up into ever steepening, blocky gray fun. That's pretty much it. Not much more to tell, really. It just gets steeper and funner, tighter and airier. The crux might be deciding which/what corner feature or arete to finish up on. It's a dance and a fantastic finish however you decide.

Middle of the wall--one of the lines that goes up the fat gray stripe right between the eyes. Kamara Sutra is actually the very first line below what I call the upper ledges. If you walk along the wall from the approach trail, you either have to do this handsy, class III step down or else back out away from the wall to a lower trail that skirts around a thick group of scraggly trees. Easy enough to identify the chossy pile of goat-sized blocks I mentioned in the description for the first section. Find the name painted on the wall there.

22 QDs. The top has a connected, two-bolt anchor station with a single ring.

You're gonna wanna bring the full 80m rope for this sweet send. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll, and it's a long way down from the top of Kamera Sutra.

A quick word about extensions: Both guidebooks for Leonidio list them as separate climbs. I here honor that custom. 

I see on MP where alotta climbers in the American idiom neglect to list the opening section. Opting instead to post the full--usually much harder--line. I'm not down with that. In Europe extensions are put in not as the line proper but rather as a different climb altogether. One appealing to different climbers with different skill sets, different agendas. So? Different chains, different line. That's how I see it; that's how I list it.  

Either way, don't call 'em second pitches. They'll just think you've been dropped too many times without a helmet.
