Rockfax Description
E1. An interesting variation on Vía Valencianos.1) 4, 38m. Follow the first pitch of Valencianos, but move left to a bolt belay below the centre of the slab.2) 6a, 18m. Climb direct up the slab to a small stance in the middle of the easy traverse on Valencianos.3) 5+, 20m. Climb steeply to gain a fine slab that leads to belays.4) 5, 34m. Trend right up the right-hand bolt line up the steep wall (some fixed gear) to the great slab. Climb straight up this to join Valencianos. Either continue up this or make three long abseils. © Rockfax

βeta: 6a slab is more 6b, especially in the heat! But it only lasts for 4 moves | βeta? | |

βeta: Direct de UBSA is a fantastic route with the best pitch being the 4th pitch which is a intimidating traverse to regain the main slab. The sequence of moves to get onto the slab at the start of the second pitch are not F5. I would say they are around F6a+ and local climbers, apparently, also go with the F6a+ grade. | βeta? | |

βeta: Do you mean the latter, Chris? Direct de UBSA *isn't* loose? (i see it has no abseil) ... is it any good i wonder, has anyone done it, as the line looks terrific. | βeta? | |
