On January 2nd of 2012 I bolted my first route. I did not know that day was going to be "the day", but accidently, it was. I rounded the high walls and managed to downhill the rock with my grigri, the drill, and other neccessary materials. I managed to put the anchor in the right way, trying to bolt it on a safe place, and starting going down, and up, looking for the exact places for the parabolts, and I think I founded them. Lets see how climbers comment about it in the future. If so, the second one will change....or not. I haven't climb it yet, eventhough today, January 5th, I finished cleaning it and throwing all the rocks needed.
I've been working on this route for two days, and in hours, they have been a total of 7 hours,, maybe more or not, but rest has been needed... and I think they count in the overall process to create a rock climbing route. ¿Don't you think so? If so, I could say that this route has had a work of around 11 hours. Hard work has been done!
This route, previously named "Mercromina", is a crack, a big one, it looks like if two plates had been separated. It is not that tall, around 15 meters or so. ¿The level? Don't know yet, but is more than a 6a+ for sure, and who knows if it will call for the 6c. The next week will tell me. I really don't know why I called this route like it, it just came to my mind, who cares... But accidently, I found a lizard inside therock, 2 bolts from the anchor, coloured dark red, a gecko. So finally, the name will be "Gecko Mercromina".
