Cachi Cross 5.12b

Place a V6/7 boulder problem on a sloper-centric wall, reduce the foot placement options, add a touch of “¿where do I go next?” and bam! you have Cachi Cross. The early jugs on this route can be deceiving, causing some to rush, however this will most likely lead to being pumped for the big sloper move to the right of the forth bolt. Using a nylon jug in order to clip the fourth bolt is not uncommon, especially for the vertically challenged. Pull your way past the crux to consistently good holds until the anchors. The true test is keeping the lactic acid burn in your forearms under control in order to allow enough time to make it to the top of one of the tallest climbs on the wall. This often cruel climb meets its grade well and can be found directly to the right of ‘Chino Clandestino’.

Respect the land owners.

They are kind enough to let you use their property for your enjoyment.

Respect other climbers.

Climbing is a community sport where the only opponent is the cruel crux that sends you airborne.

Respect the environment.

Above all, respect the environment. The plants, the earth and the rock itself were here long before you came into existence and will continue to exist long after you are gone. Sustain its survival by treating it properly.

• Pick up trash, even if it is not your own. Take at least one piece out on every trip.

• Do not kill flora or fauna, no matter how small or large.

• Live and climb as though you are organic with your environment.
