Description
Tres Hombres is a nice little boulder problem route on the far right end of Rising From the Plains. This route is somewhat unusual for a The Wild Iris 5.13, in that it doesn't climb an enormous roof or severely overhanging wall. The cliff is essentially veritcal, with a slight tilt at the crux, and the climbing is rather technical on tiny sharp crimps and the odd pocket.
Begin with easy moves up the black streak. A non-trivial 2-finger crank leads to another sinker pocket to clip the 2nd bolt. Head up & right, clip with difficulty, and execute the boulder problem crux. There are multiple ways to do this crux, but both will involve a tweaky pull off a shallow, comfortized two-finger pocket. A Sharp incut diagonal edge leads to some good pockets and a large jug at the 5th bolt. From here a few juggy moves lead to the chains.
