It´s the "easiest" route in the famous west face. It has a moderated equipment and the big terrace of "Tiros de la Torca" in the middle of the route will help us mentally, but, we can´t forget that we have to climb over 500 meters of the west face and the hardest pitches are in the second part of the route, so we will have to face them with a bit of fatigue in the arms. Like always in this wall, all the pitches are fantastic and we will enjoy them climbing with the exceptional rock quality.

The first part of the route until ¨tiros de la torca¨  goes around the vertical walls searching the weakness of the rock. It´s a slab climbing over an unbeatable limestone. The first two pitches are the hardest of this first part, they are well protected with many bolts on the hardest sections, the next four pitches will take us to the famous "Tiros de la Torca", a big terrace where we can take a rest and eat something before we start climbing the second and hardest part of the route. The first two pitches after ¨tiros de la torca¨ are the hardest of this second part and, we will start to be tired, but the superb quality of the rock will make us enjoy a lot. Then, we have to climb the big chimney of V grade and almost 200 meters to the summit.
