The steep and difficult route at Villanueva del Rosario in southern Spain is a rope stretcher at 80 metres. The first ascent came in 2003 by Bernabe Fernandez and was repeated by Adam Ondra in 2011 and Seb Bouin in 2015.

There are reports that Edu Marin is also very close to sending. Andrada found 25 no-hand rests and said, as Bouin did, that the route is 5.15a or 5.15a+ and that the final send took 65 minutes.
