Description Suggest change

Fun sport route along the right end of Placa Roja. Techy face climbing with bulges/roofs thrown in. Can link pitches 1&2 4&5 6&7 or just pitch it out.Aprox. Pitch 1 - 20m
Pitch 2 - 20m
Pitch 3 - 30m
Pitch 4 - 25m
Pitch 5 - 25m
Pitch 6 - 25m
Pitch 7 - 25m
Pitch 8 - 18m

1st, 2nd and 3rd pitches are the business, then the route eases up a bit.  Bolted anchors, quick 8 raps with a 60m or 70m. Make sure you knot your ends, rapping with a 60m would be close.  

Location Suggest change

Park and approach as you would for the other 2 Placa Roja routes but skirt the bottom of the face until you almost reach Placa Gris. Look for bolts. You will pass another semi bolted route along the face which is an aid route, but keep walking towards the next rock face climbers right

Protection Suggest change

Bolts and bolted anchors, bring 22+ draws if you plan to link pitches. Also runners and alpine draws are helpful to prevent rope drag.
