Description Suggest change

El Cautivo is a nice route on the right side of Out of Towner's Dome.

See climbaz.com/Backcountry/pag… for a photo.

It's been a while - I'm sure Scott will correct me if I mess this up!

P1: Mostly easy slab, leading to a good belay ledge.

P2: Up a crack for a couple of moves (#2 camalot), then step right and climb slab.

P3: More fun bolted slab.

P4: Bolts to the top.

I don't think there's any specific crux. All hard moves were well protected. Similar to the longer routes on Sheepshead (Peacemaker, Too Tough to Die).

Location Suggest change

Go right from where the trail hits the rock - start near a low point on the right side. You'll see a bolt in an easyish slab.

Descend by rapping the route. 2 ropes.

Protection Suggest change

Bolted - a couple of cams and maybe a sling or two for the chickenheads. We use a #2 camalot on P2 and a #1 on 3. Probably don't need the #1 though.

There are some runout sections on easier ground. Typical Stronghold climbing.
