Enjoying great jugs on "Billy el Rapido".

Description 

An excellent low 12, featuring big moves on mostly enormous holds reminiscent of the Red River Gorge. The start will involve a dyno or two for all but the freakishly tall.

Balance up the trembling cheater tower to reach a set of tiny mail slots. Paste your feet & move up to the ledge. A big throw leads past the blank section above the second bolt. An awkward pinch move leads to jugs & the sprint for the top. The climb slabs out just before the top, where a few tenuous crimps lead to the anchor.

Location 

On the tall right half of the cliff, immediately right of "Toma Castanazo", which has a plaque.

Protection 

Bolts to 2BA. Stick clip recommended.
