Ascents in La Cueva as Hang dog

Hard start but nice holds for the first few bolts. The upper part of the face wasn't the nicest rock.

What a line! Pretty steep on amazing rock inside the cave with a strong move to pull over the small roof. Stiff for the grade at this altitude.

Beautiful (overgrown) corner crack which looked like it hadn't been climbed in years. Its blank slabby features in the dihedral force you to climb the crack via jamming only. Mostly hand jams with one or two fist jams. Ate and inhaled a lot of dirt just to give up at the crux..

I´d been working up the courage to climb this route since I first came to Hatun Machay. Totally burned out on the relentless overhang but stoked to finish! I´ll have to come back... with more muscles
