Description 

A really fun, longer line at the wall with a nice variety of climbing styles. It's a natural line with no concrete on the route like many of the others to its left. Cruise up easy climbing up the chunky corner for a couple of bolts. The wall's eponymous route breaks right after this bolt so continue up and a bit left for Anima Blanca. A sequential big-jug move surmounts the first bulge to a balancy rest below the next, crux bulge. Climb up to the right-hand sloper and go up to tiny but sharp crimps for the left to help pull over the bulge. Sustained vertical climbing with a bit of a run-out above leads to the anchors.

Location 

Start in the chunky corner just right of the large, detached pillar and a fixed rope up the gully. The route name is painted on the rock at the base.

Protection 

11 bolts to a two-bolt anchor with lowering biner.
