Description 

The small, deer-like mammal,'el daü', was possibly hunted to extinction at the turn of the century. But there have been recent sightings of this native to céüse by local farmers and more interestingly in 2009 and again in 2012 by climbers stumbling down the approach trail in the dark after a long day at the crag. None of these sightings have been confirmed, but enough evidence has been given to capture the interest of the international scientific community. But enough about that....
Good climbing up edges and pockets lead to a really bouldery crux with difficult clips. Reachy and easier for tall people. After the crux, sustained, difficult climbing leads to the anchor. Solid for the given 11c grade. One of the only routes of this grade at the demi-lune, so a pretty popular project for those breaking into this level.

Location 

This route is to the right of 'esperanza' and the the left of 'harley davidson'. The name is written at the base.

Protection 

bolts to a fixed anchor.
