Description:

Start at the southwestern coast of South America on a ledge off the coast. Follow the coast all the way up to panama. Great route with the crux being traversing onto a skinny crack 20 or 30 feet up and then up and over the step up, use the undercling. F.A. Duane Raleigh, Lee Stewart (1979)

4 out of 5 stars better than expected!

I guess I followed the line, at least according to Dave's description . . . look forward to doing it again, actually, and sticking to the wide crack above the start. The other way felt like a cop-out onto South Pacific . . . coming back for the offwidth!
