Balls to the Wall (El Rito Sport Route)


Description 

Balls to the Wall is the leftmost climb on Gnar Wall.

It's hard to write El Rito descriptions, especially for moderates.
Climb the steep cobble-y face. Helpful? Fun moves, especially up high where it gets steeper.

Beta for the crux is described in the route's name.


Protection
