Description
This is a variation on the finishing plaque of The Zebra that was established with a number of friends, hence the amigos variation. After the no hands rest on The Zebra, clip the first two permadraws on the headwall. Then climb up and left into the center of the plaque on powerful crimps, pinches, and underlings.
This is harder than The Zebra and a bit more runout. It is an exciting but safe lead with nothing but air underneath you.
This would be a “mini-Pass classic”, five bolt, sport climb if it was a standalone route.
It is possible to traverse the top lip of the cliff after clipping the anchors of The Zebra to set up a toprope. Be careful of loose rocks if doing this.
