● El Muro
Sep 3, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Good climb but not spectacular, unless looking to hone round finding skills. First was finding the damn trail. Then the damn route, which is not at the blue dot. The first bolt is incredibly hard to see. Follow the bolt line between obvious blocks. Always looking for feet, and the next bolt. Hard to find. As a bonus, many holds are not confidence inspiring. Can see many stones that have pulled, making for some "faith" in the holds, or the feet. If any are pulled during lead, the leader is going for a ride, and probably not a good one. Could be an ankle breaker. Pg13 is adequate. Plenty of zigging & zaging, but it's all there. Just gotta put the puzzle together. I believe there are two bolts added between the chockstone, so there was no 30' run-out.
