Description
An extension to the extension! Fred has been busy!
Move up at the second set of chains to find steep, technical sidepull madness through a panel of brown/gray hilarity. Originally graded 7b!!! Now established as a 6c+. WOOOOOW! Quite the downgrade! Get the RP before they rate this one an approach pitch.
Meanwhile, I haven't actually sent this; I include it here for glorious plenitude. The star rating I take from Vertical-Life (now a division of 8a). The mob gives it AND the first extension below a fulsome four out of five stars. Now, IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET THE RP, then shoot me the deets and I'll fill this out proper. Someone out there get rowdy on this, get some pics, and get me the info, please please.
Location
Middle of the wall--right in-between the eyes. Starts in a small, shady clearing in front of a tight copse of scraggly trees.
If you have to class III step down, you went too damn far. Shoulda looked left and found the name onna wall above a suspicious hidey-hole. (Bonus points if'n you stick your hand in there without looking...)
Protection
The 2025 Pánkika guide suggests 26 QDs for the full monty. I can't speak to the anchor.
Def want to bring that 80 for this adventure....
On extensions...
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.
