5 out of 5 stars Beautiful...

This was a solid 11b, and probably one of my favourite routes in Potrero. Amazing climbing.

5 out of 5 stars tick

An excellent route. The third bolt at the crux is getting manky. Sucker holds out left at the upper crux.

5 out of 5 stars great mid-11 with a fun move on the tufa at the bulge

31Dec2007: top-roped this climb. made the crux move with no problem only to get sucked left higher up instead of following the line out right. i wonder if i would have followed the diagonal line on lead instead of the rope on TR. Even so, I lowered a bit and still made the harder move to the left anyway.

super fun climb!

28Nov2008: Back at EPC this year after 11 months. Took a run on it, then followed it up with the redpoint on the second try. Manage the pump and you'll get this one. It's a beauty of a climb.

4 out of 5 stars fun 11

mini super is a great place for 10s but theres not much in the way of quality 11s except for the very fun la presa. you'll find this one to the left of coca cola and to the right of el curandero. there is a small tufa on the bulge to help you find it.
