This route, which starts from the Valencianos ledge, is the best option for sport climbing on this section of the wall.
There is an alternative to the last pitch, where you leave the belay station to the left, climbing an overhanging wall with good holds: Pilar López de Pancho, 7b (R. de Valera and M. Cebrián). Highly recommended.
Equipment: quickdraws.
