| 5.10 would be a sandbag and a half for this monster. there is a good 20 feet of _tight_ hands and/or ringlocks above the overhung section and then a move or three of fists/offwidth at the very top before the chains. There are decent rests in the good hands section and through the overhang, but its pretty sustained up top. definitely takes 2 ropes to get down, even a 70 wont quite make it if you scramble up and right and belay on the ledge up there. Well worth doing despite the sandy start, but it aint no straightforward 5.10. |

| Evidently this is an old Bandito route, at least judging from the old "Bandito" stamped aluminum hanger. The other hanger is a thin, old hanger and while the bolts are tight, eventually someone will probably want to add some fresh hardware. This route deserves it, it's a sweet line. |
