FA: ALuckyDuck, May 2023
Colorado > San Luis Valley > Jacob's Hill > 2. Spanish Dagger For…

Description

Classic Jacob's pockets bring you to a no hands rest below an overhanging arete crux. Solve the compression boulder problem, dancing left then right of the arete, and move up onto the steep and airy face to a seam. 

Location

On the left side of the Spanish Dagger routes, on the Fin Del Mundo panel (see overview photo), this climbs the overhanging arete bulge. Begin atop the boulder just left of the Tres Panchos belay ramp, and climb atop the flake/boulder to clip the first bolt.

Protection

11 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor equipped with steel loweroffs.
