Description Suggest change

months ago, we spotted an anchor about 80 feet up on a vegetated ledge, approx. 20 feet left of puro filipino.
we wondered what the climbing below would yield… the verdict: pretty stiff climbing on surprisingly solid stone.
just when we thought we might have bagged a coveted FA, evidence of an earlier ascent materialized: knotted cordage! i kid you not. 2 ancient pieces were crammed in halfway and 3/4 the way up. one piece still remains, demarcating a route older than the bulk of climbers at the dong.
pretty amazing and certainly worth keeping for posterity in its "natural state"

newish anchors (probably installed to rap bolt :( the face in question)
lower or rap with care as a wasp nest is more or less directly under the anchors

Location Suggest change

left angling system of cracks, left of puro filipino.

Protection Suggest change

standard rack. don't forget the small stuff and cord!
