Route



Beautiful climb on immaculate granite established all-free on the west face of La Mascara. It shares the first pitch of the legendary South African route before "continuing left up a series of amazing steep corners littered with golden wind blasted face holds.." No bolts or pegs were placed during the ascent, meaning that there is no gear in-situ along the entire route.

Getting there

Access via the French Valley.

Descent

Abseil down the South African route.
