Ascents in Santa Cruz having Beta

Golden granite it aint

Sport climbed instead of top roping as there are bolts here now. Feels like 5a

Probably the worst rock I've ever climbed on. Didn't know anything about the route, found the bolts and started climbing, looked about Aussie 18. Silly horizontal traverse for P5, very thin for feet and maybe worse for hands. P6 crux I had to pull on draws, then fortunately someone had left a sling attached to the 2nd bolt, then maybe the 5th bolt I had to use a sling for a foothold, too difficult for me!

En la topo proporcionada por el club andino el último largo a la derecha se marca de 6c+

Ayy gooeey, es buenísima y súper larga... Like it!

Some good moves and interesting pockets, but rock a bit friable

Solamente la había hecho una vez. Ya no me acordaba de nada, es larguísima y muy variada en los pasos.

Close, but very finger shredding. shame rock is so crap.

always a line up for this- unless its so cold you cant feel hands, like the day we did it

Excellent. Balancey slab to start, then steep jugs high up. A proper onsight (well, at least a proper sport onsight?)... found the bolts while going for a walk during a bad weather day, straight back to the hostel to get our gear and up we went.

Hermosísima!

La favoritas de este sector! Esta vez me fui derechito en el Crux, sí cuesta más. Igual, llegas a las cadenas con los brazos súper pump, pues pasas dos partes muy desplomadas.

Una clásico muy divertido, literalmente escalando entre "burbujas"!

Ok for a grade 15

Tricky start

not very sustained

Really good climbing. Made me forget all those beautiful mountains behind me, which is the reason we're here. When's the next weather window?

Too difficult for me, couldn't get to the 3rd bolt, had to be lowered.... then Mel saunters up to the 3rd bolt, looks down at me and lovingly says "it's OK, I'll belay you on top rope"... argh, I hate this climb.

OK... so I took Mel up on the offer and top roped it... well, actually.... I top rope aided it. I hate that 2m of rock between the 2nd and 3rd bolt ;o)

Really enjoyed this. Had a couple of "stop & think" moments at the final test at the scoop before the anchors

Hermosa ruta, una de mis favoritas. Esta vez como en la 4ta chapa me fui más por las cadenas y sí me exigió. Las chapas están súper hebradas, es muy mental y plaquera.

Brush the holds when done

A couple of bizarre bolt placements at thigh height on ledges - although maybe this climb is for 5 year olds? Well... it was really windy and I had to cling to the cliff like a small child who didn't want to go to school...

stiff for 16 but the moves are pretty cool through the middle.

Bit of a weird route down low so many bolt lines it’s hard to know what route is what Money pitch is that last one up the crack Fun one and Carla’s first multi great views

Muy bonita ruta, crimpsitos chilos a morir como me gustan.

5 largos! Muy divertida!

Clasica Ruta, Los seguros no siempre están cerca.

Really nice route. Got lost at the third pitch. Found some bolts to the right and changed into another route and found back to the route afterwards. It's possible to hike down if you turn right after the top and walk past a littlecellphone tower.

A fun, quick and safe multi pitch, it's been used and abused with many freesolos, winter climbs with tools and more. The top brings amazing views of the whole surrounding area.

slipped at start incurring worst injury in patagonia- a grazed wrist. SOme OK moves

Had to pull on the 1st bolt to get past the crux, I'm so soft. Easy Aussie ~12 from there to the top.

I used the big flake thing, but Mel said that was cheating, oops, just like the rules at St Leonards gym ;o) I liked this climb.

Really awkward to clean, should've thought about that and had the second top-rope. We cleaned using a tension abseil, could've lowered the second but was concerned about the rope grating on several edges.

Testing side clings for first 2 bolts, then easy up. Awkward to clean again as it wanders so far across at the top.

Easy, nice 2m of side clings past 2nd bolt, but rest was forgettable. Pointless 1st bolt, should've been 1m lower to protect scramble, not at knee height on ledge.

bolting above the ledge could have been better. basically the bolt provides zero protection for the crux.

Se puede compartir la reunión con la vía de la izquierda.

Nice and traddy

interesting pockets

canbe a little reachy

Cold windy day, climbed in gore-tex and beanie. Had 2 builders at Koonek Hostel watching us.

Bizarre, 2 anchors at the top. Even more bizarre, I walked-off left so didn't use either!

Rain was blowing-in from the north, moved quick to finish the climb so we could scamper the ~100m back to our hostel ;o)

Too difficult for me, surely there was more earth to stand on previosuly? The base must be lower, surely, but I know I'm a terrible crack climber! I used BD 0.75 cam just to get in the vicinity of the first bolt! :o)

La última parte no tiene mucha toma, asi que hay que jugar haciendo oposición entre ambas paredes.
