Donde Esta Larry?

Description

Starts on the right side of the "Adios Larry" ledge and easier climbing leads through the first 4 bolts. First two are relatively close together and then significantly easier climbing gets to the steepening sections. A 5.8-5.9 leader could always climb the first section and step onto the face of "Adios Larry" to the mid point anchors. Great quality rock down low and then a section that is not as good, but the holds are there.

There are 3 steep, bulging cruxes and I would really like feedback from anyone who on sights these regarding thoughts on the grade. I developed this using a Soloist belay device on top rope with drill and gear on the back up rope, so climbed each section on a solo top rope before bolting. Because of this, I did not "on sight" the route when sending it and was comfortable through the cruxes. It'd be good to get feedback though. Remember to pull down and not out on this LD rock!

Location

Arete to the right of "Adios Larry".

Protection

11 bolts, but the runout is in much easier climbing than the cruxes and the cruxes protect well - climb through each of them and a bit of easier climbing gets you to the next bolt. Some small to medium pieces can help ease, like with "Adios Larry", but aren't needed if you're comfortable at the grade.
