150 m, 6a
S. Guerola and E. Perales in 1986
Nice route with similar characteristics to the previous one in terms of environment and rock, but more affordable grade. The first two pitches are equipped with bolts, aswell as all the belay stations. The fourth pitch of the original route runs through a small fissure a few meters to the right of the characteristic dihedral of Las Tetas de mi novia.
Equipment: set of nuts and a set of friends.
