Route in South Wall - La Rampla

One for the chossophiles. A new route up a hitherto unclimbed wall. Worthwhile except for the terrible second; "Demon Baby" pitch, which will have you questioning every hold, and your love of climbing. Is the rest of it worth it?

To start walk right of Little Thailand wall 50m to find a 10m ramp cutting left across the lower cliff band. All bolts except first pitch.

1. 40m, (5) Easily up ramp (no bolts, can sling trees) then up the talus to a black corner on right. Take a moment to appreciate the immense wall of choss on the left.

2. 35m (23) Up left leaning ramp, the middle 10m is on particularly bad rock, but the cruxes are at the start and end and there are lots of bolts. Semi Hanging Belay.

3. 30m (21) Up, then diagonally left under steep wall to hanging belay

4. 30m (23) Up steep tufas then right and up to belay.

5. 45m (18) Up corner for 30m then ramble to the top to belay off trees.

To walk back to the red track (20 minutes), sidle left, down talus chute 50m then continue sidling left below cliffs, down and across a swampy creek, and onto the track.
