Ascent Notes for: sangre de muertos (blood of the dead) - 5.11b Average Rating : 3.83/5

This is currently a project for me. The climb is negative with small holds at the start moving into jugs. The crux for me is getting over the bulge toward the top and managing the pump.

Your hands will be cut, but this route is great for power endurance. Fun transition from technical to powerful climbing on this short route.

big moves on great holds

Running beta is awesome.

The line's high quality is worth the pesky 2nd high clip. 11b is sandbagging; two others I talked to thought 11d, and almost as hard as Lipo. It's much closer to Lipo than to Blowing Smoke at the Monkey (11a). When rebolted, please shift bolts 2 and 3 down a little. Bolt 3 is high for no reason; I zclipped the anchors.

first try was exploratory. second try i came up a little short of the redpoint. next time....

2010/04/10: Needed another 5.11 for my 5th Limestoner climber and that's how I'd finally made it back to Blood of the Dead to send it.
