Description 

awesome sustained tech climbing, the better you are at stemming the easier this is gonna be, up to a crux thats in a right facing dihedral, move out of this to a good right hold (easier if your ape index is ++) then easier climbing to anchors (at ledge with tree)


Location 

6' to the right of Don Quixote


Protection 

12 bolts? plus chains

I thought this was slightly harder than "Don Quixote" but not hard enough to be a 5.12. I think it's right on the boarder line of 11+/12-.

Danes guide says the first ascent was made by Marco Curti, Rolando Larcher, Fabio Leoni, Paola Fanton and Luca Leoni in 1998.

Talk about a group effort.
