Description Suggest change

This one surprised me because the bottom of the route looks chossy and is a little loose in places but the climbing is super cool moderate chimney climbing and the rock gets better as you keep climbing. It's also a bit longer than it looks.

Climb the chimney clipping bolts on the left past some bad rock to a good stance continue up the chimney as the rock gets better clip bolts on the right. Many options for beta i ended up pulling a corkscrew move which is always fun. After the chimney ends climb moderate rock to the chains on the left.

Location Suggest change

Chimney just right of Juan Valdez (5.10b).

Protection Suggest change

8 bolts to anchor (guide book says 7, but it's incorrect) . Long draws on last 2 bolts help.
