Caballo Loco

5.11a, Sport, 180 ft (55 m), 2 pitches,  Avg: 3 from 4 votes
FA: Jim Scott, Dean Brault
Arizona > Southern Arizona > Mustang

Description

The first pitch felt like harder 5.10. It goes up a dihedral-like feature. At the anchors, continue left. (If you go right, you will be on Fuerte Vaquero and it looks a lot harder.) The route gets steeper and there is a section of 3 or 4 bolts that is fairly sustained. There is great climbing here with many pockets of various sizes. This route can be climbed as two pitches or one long one.

Location

to the left of an enormous chimney/cave formation on the west side of the crag, see topo

Protection

17 bolts + 2 sets of anchors

[Hide Comment] Fuerte Vaquero, is pumpy and sustained 5.12a/b. It's free air if come off, so it's a safe run if your climbing at this level. Feb 15, 2007

[Hide Comment] FA Jim Scott, Dean Brault. Using long runners this can be climbed as a single pitch route. The rope gets heavy until you clip that draw over your head. Then you feel like you just lost weight. It is a battle to do the whole thing as one pitch, but it's cool to go and go and go... Apr 14, 2007
