Ascent Notes for: La Escalada - 5.6 Average Rating : 3.06/5

warm-up

Fun climb for the grade. Seemed to be far too many bolts, but I guess that's to be expected with 5.6. The traversing climb makes for a bad swing on top rope.

Some sorta strange parts, decent for inexperienced climbers. Watch out for the pendulum if you set up a top rope.

Weird but Decent....

Good route to teach a leader and/or lead belay. We had a couple new leaders with us and this is where we taught them.

Guidebook calls this a 5.6, and I'd agree. Huge holds, bolts very close together. A great first lead, or a great climb to teach someone to lead belay, which is what we did.

Weird route, and all kinds of fun. Interesting throughout, not strenuous. A little finicky on gear placement. Big hexes.

Ascent note

great for first time leaders or people trying to get comfortable outside.

Fun warmup
