Ascents in The Vatican

Julio took us up a choss gully without really detailing what was up there and low-and-behold, an arapilean water-polished hand crack! Fully bolted. Probably grade 18 in araps but 25 here apparently. Virgin canyon in the arvo which is defo the porters pass of epc. Dense as fuck with ultra classic tricky low angle flake pulling. La botelo reminded me what 12a actually feels like.. i now need to find creative ways of getting my credit card out for fear of my pads touching the edges. Gross pasta and margi at la posada

Fun techy climbing leads to powerful liebacking on exfoliating slopers. Kneebars, arm bars, crimps, slopers and a couple of hand jams. It's all there.

I dont like crack
