Title: [Peak][Gardom's South][7c] Escondido
Post by: Bonjoy on March 22, 2010, 01:00:27 pm

Heard from Jamie 'Big Hands' Lilleman yesterday that he's added a new one at Gradom's South.
"Right side of Sauvito. Really good climbing and a touch harder than Sauvito. Bit scary at first but with a couple of pads down and left and a few jumps off it's fine. Called Escondido, around 7c."
Nice one Grand Doigts!

True, but it looks like you'll always fall leftwards and miss it. In which case the pads on rock are mostly there for psychological benefit or in case of an unlikely blunder.

I was going to ask the same question before the dill beat me to it.
Looks a good line though, Jamie is really enjoying his climbing non?
