Dependence

Dependence is likely the steepest climb at Tres Piedras, well-bolted and overhanging almost its entire length. As such, sport climbers who've paid their dues at places like El Rito and Enchanted Tower will find it easy for the grade (compared to other solid 11s at TP), and trad climbers will dismiss it as a contrived stunt.

A tough move just past the 1st bolt onto the next good holds, then it eases up. Pass a horizontal quartz seam with jugs, from which you make a reachy clip of the 3rd bolt. And then it gets really steep: A couple of hard moves, to thank-god jugs, and, if you've got any strength left, you're at the anchor.

This climb, and the belayer, can be almost fully sheltered from rain.
