Description
The moves are better than the rock itself, which tends toward gritty.
This is the low-angle crack system prominent on the Bilbo Buttress, leaning left and jumping between the 3 crack systems along its way. Starting from the ground, one can use the various cracks to make a B-line for the anchors on El Chivo, and bring up your second.
Not a bad line, but no distination, for sure.
