Tiny Almada (Mexico) and Cecilia Buil (Spain) completed the second route up Peña Amán, a 400-meter overhanging wall of sandstone and conglomerate in the Hoya de Huesca area, in the southern foothills of the Pyrenees. The first route up the west face of the formation, Imperio Salvaje (410m, V A2), was soloed by Josema Jarrín in 1993 and has only been repeated once. Los Delincuentes (“The Delinquents,” 420m, 13 pitches, 6c+ A2+) starts 15 meters to the right and shares the last three pitches with Imperio Salvaje. Almada and Buil worked on their route for 12 days in November, including three days on the wall during the final push. Buil suggested the route might go free but would require substantial cleaning.
