We were in the LOC, searching for a climb that could satiate our thirst for adventure. That's when Cassidy's legendary El Chalupa V7 caught our eye. It was a climb steeped in mystery and danger, one of the oldest in the area, and notoriously sandbagged. It was a climb that demanded everything we had and then some. Despite its modest difficulty, El Chalupa had only seen a handful of successful ascents in the 22 years since its creation. It was a climb that demanded respect and demanded the utmost skill from those who dared to take it on. But what really set El Chalupa apart was the grading. It was the hardest climb on the Satellite boulder, and yet it received the lowest grade. The result was chaos - climbers scrambling to conquer it, driven to madness by the bad grading. But we were undaunted. We knew the risks, knew the dangers, and we were ready to take them on. We would be the ones to conquer El Chalupa, to prove that we had what it takes to succeed where others had failed. And when we finally reached the summit, we knew that we had achieved something truly special. We had tamed the beast, conquered the unconquerable, and emerged victorious.
