Cerro El Mocho - North face

6. Grey Yellow Arrow

450m 7a A0

Janez Jeglic, Silvo Karo and Francek Knez (Slovenia), Roberto Pe (Italy), 10-11/12/1986.

Description. Follows a strenuous crack system in the left most part of the north face. A very steep line on very good rock, that would likely go free.

History. It was climbed in two days, regaining the highpoint via an obvious ramp that leads to the half way mark. This was one of Pe’s four new routes in a month long visit to the area.

Approach. De Agostini to Niponino.

Pro. Double to camalot #3, although a couple of triples might be worth having too, one #4?, stoppers.
