caption_attribution_description: English: I (seb951) took this picture on a trip to Mexico in winter 05. It shows El Torro in the background and a climber on the Mota Wall in the foreground. Typical view when you are climbing at the Potrero.
context_page_description: El Sendero Luminoso is the name of a rock climb at El Potrero Chico, Nuevo León, Mexico. A bigwall sport-route, El Sendero Luminoso rises over 1500 ft up the impressive front side of El Toro. It is one of the harder long routes in the area — 11 of its 15 pitches clock in at 5.12. The route was established by Jeff Jackson, Kurt Smith and Pete Peacock and is graded 5.12+ V.
  On January 15, 2014, Alex Honnold became the first person to free-solo the route. He did so in a little over three hours.
  On November 27, 2019, the American rock climber Brad Gobright fell approximately 300 meters to his death while descending from the route with his climbing partner, Aidan Jacobson who fell between 20 and 30 meters and survived.
