Mike Zavala tells us
the
release of this track, who followed a strong climber above.
 
"Last fall Kunai Media
and
Abler Salvador repeated this route and even then we talked about the
quality
of it. Kunai was clear what was going: I wanted to climb everything
for free
but there were many unknowns to solve in the form of A2 and an A3. The
thing
did not look easy since the tope showed 10 nails, in addition to
hooks,
stirrups, friends … Kunai resolved their long view and spoke to
several
passages exposed (in the mouth of Kunai this is food for thought).





The
A2
proved long-sixth 7b +. As it was quite exposed, Albert artificial
rose to the
second sheet to prove this stretch Kunai roping. Just a short
overhanging
crack of L7 is resisted Navarre.
 
On 10 April I with Manu to try
the track, 300 meters from the best imaginable limestone ahead in one the most
beautiful of Aragon.
 
The information of our friends
have been helpful. We knew we had a length of A3 but our mole just appeared A2
difficulties. The first long and puts you on alert as it is reviewed and must
be at least 6a and 6b, and exposed. The second, 6c, and the third well (I play
the odd) we have with the notation that can be Kunai 7a + expo.
 
A journey of a collapsed some
10 meters lets the foot of a diorite. It is difficult to protect and I have
only posted 1 figurer. With enough effort to get a universal that it calms me
down a little, now it seems easier to find a python and a red sling (Albert
admit it) and continued for a perfect plate of rock but improtegible. I keep
browsing the limestone and came to the conclusion that I went off the track,
and I do not see anything and came to the meeting with the latest python very,
very far. Then we find out that this was the length of A3.

The output of L4 without being
too difficult (6c +) is quite exciting and ensure that costs and slumps. Manu
Place a small Alien and browse until you reach a good crack.
 
The sixth as long as we have
outlined by Unai 7b +. Manu comes with all the fury and the first spigot
plate. The paint thing until the next expansion, there is more singing on the
left but the fall is very bad, maybe if jumps rope back and I let go of a good
karate kick. I think Manu, seeing my face in panic, decided to hang on the
hooks and get to the next clipping spigot. We go down to the meeting and
resolve this stretch in the pulley, but I do not know is that to reach the
third tap, which is about 10 meters from the second, you have to climb a lot.
In this section Manu got a universal meter (final python we use) that will
certainly welcome future repeaters.
 
The seventh long as we keep an
open question left unresolved an A1. Here it would have appreciated that tape
gloves. It is for this reason that scaled in Ulnae not free, because it hurt.
A good 7a.
 
The low last long enough in
quality but still worth it.
 
An extraordinary journey that
we have to thank mostly to aperturistas, papilla and J. Fernandez. A great way
to free committed now pythons can climb without a RATON.
 
We takes 11 hours from car to
car and use friends to number 3, micros, figurers, two hooks and two pins that
we placed.
 
Long stay: 6b, 6c, 7a +, 6c +,
6c, 7b +, 7a, 6a + with a degree bound of 7a to go free. "
