Leonardo Da Smeari
Description
On the first black water-streaked formation you come to hiking up the gully. The line headed up a seam to a piton on the left side of this cliff. Crux passing the first bolt, I thought. You'll see the fixed pin where the crack jogs right. There's one bolt above this that leads you to the anchor. Fun slabbing while trying to make use of the seam; the traverse right along the diagonal crack was also neat. First bolts kind of high, you might get some tiny gear in on your way to it. Climbing this one reminded me to be impressed by a previous generation of Sandia climbers.
Location
Left-most route of the first black streaked cliff. Look for a bolt at about 12' and a fixed pin higher where the crack jogs to the right.
Protection
2 bolts and a fixed pin; 2-bolt anchor shared with Blank Canvas and Mona Feetsa. You might sneak in some small nuts or RPs, maybe even some tiny cams.
