Back in Salto del Perro, bolting again

We went back to Salto del Perro, trying to finish the routes we had started bolting and starting new ones.

Richard finished with his beast, he thinks it might be something around 8c, but nobody has tried it yet so we will need to wait for a brave man (or for him to come back to the island).

Jorge from To’Patras made great progress with his routes, he cleaned a bit of one of his 7s but he also glued a couple of things that needed it and now we can say that his 7a+ is open to public. The other one is also ready but nobody has tried it since glue needed to dry for a day so we don´t know the grade yet.

Xerach did a bit of progress with his variant of the 7a+, the route is almost ready but it still needs one chemical bolt in a section that doesn’t sound very solid.

After that he wen’t climbing with Sito, pair of bastards.

And Chris bolted and climbed with Sito a new route that he baptized Tequila, we are thinking it is a 6c but not so sure, it might be al ittle more so we’ll need to wait for other climbers to give their opinions.

By the way, the route isn’t quite finished yet, we need to place another bolt before the end and the anchor isn’t there either, so check the date of this article, we will post another one when the route is open to everybody. Just look for Tequila on the searchbox.

Fuimos de nuevo al Salto del Perro a tratar de terminar las vías que habíamos comenzado y a empezar otras nuevas.

Richard terminó con su bestia, el piensa que ronda por el 8c pero nadie la ha intentado así que tendremos que esperar por un hombre valiente (o a que regrese a la isla).

Jorge de To’Patrás progresó muchísimo con sus rutas, limpió y terminó de equipar su otro séptimo pero además les puso pegamento a ambas vías y ahora podemos decir que están abiertas al público.

Xerach progresó un poco con su variante del 7a+, la vía está casí terminada pero todaví le falta un químico largo en una sección que no suena muy sólida. Después de eso se fué a escalar con Sito, par de bribones.

Chris equipó una vía que después escaló con Sito y a la que bautizó Tequila, pensamos que es un 6c pero podría ser un poco más así que esperaremos a la opinión de otros escaladores.
