Description
A new addition to the San Pedro wall. This route tops out the formation and you can walk off the backside. It also features great gear/rock and comfy bolted belay stances, along with afternoon shade. The crux of the route is pitch 3 where you move up and right off an exposed ledge.
Pitch 1 - Go up a vegetated ramp and scope out the short hand crack. Follow it up to a small ledge and up to a two bolt anchor beneath the obvious large roof. 5.8, 100'
Pitch 2 -Traverse left and around the corner to the South side of the formation. Climb a short corner and belay on bolts. 5.6, 60'
Pitch 3 - A few steep and exposed 5.10- moves right and then up take you to an enjoyable 5.8 varied wide crack and up to the “Dabaloni Ledge”. 5.10-, 100'
We didn't climb it, but a 5.7-8-ish-looking variation with good pro exists off of the belay to the left. This can be used to skip the crux, bringing the route down to the 5.8-level.
Pitch 4 - From the ledge pick and choose a fun way to the top. Steep 5.7 on featured cracks and chicken heads! 5.7, 70'
Have fun!
Location
Starts in the center of the wall beneath an obvious large roof and left of a leaning pillar with bolts (the route Mixed Decisions).
Protection
A nice selection of single cams up to # 4 camalot BD. Passive pro works well on the upper pitches.
