Route Info
This route is located under the bridge just past the first bivouac. It is for very experienced players only.
It begins with a simple down climb on a couple small crimp bars which takes slight precision but pales in comparison to the rest of the route.
After the downclimb, you shift into a sloped under-cling where you have to swiftly get to a more stable position before you burn out. Traversing to the right you reach a position of rest, but that was just the first crux and is nothing compared to what’s to come.
Crux 2 uses a tiny crack to get further under the arch transitioning to a terrible rest with both hands and feet on a side pull.
Finally the top out, the final boss of Es Pontas in which you crimp a sloper and slowly shimmy your way up, doing the splits to get all the height you can before you reach for the final edge.
