El Bandarillo

I suspect the name is a variation on a Spanish word:  Bandera means flag where the 'e' tends to have a long 'a' sound.  And 'illo' simply indicates a small or endeared thing without changing the meaning of the noun to which it is applied.  Perhaps Hill's guide is just carrying forward a mis-spelling of El Banderillo?

This obscure, small and sharp pinnacle lies NW of Jawbone. However, the Jawbone summit can not be seen from its' top due to an intervening cliff system.

The one route (# 1) listed in Hill's guide is slightly vague about where to start.  The saddle between El Bandarillo and uphill terrain looked to me to be the "#1" way to the summit and the terrain looked consistent with Hill's "5.2 (?)" rating - granted, that that could be an old-school rating.  But others in our party thought Hill's description meant we should drop down along the north face before heading up - which is what we did.

So, this page assumes Hill's Route 1 starts from the saddle, even though we did not fully climb it.  And it assumes the one we did is a new route (Evitación).  Others may want to chime in.
