Easy classic route, with quality rock. We are unaware of the names of the first ascensionists and the original route they followed; there are many options. Perhaps the biggest challenge lies in avoiding vegetation.

The description provided here is the route followed by the climber who shared the review with us, with the intention of not letting it be forgotten, as it is an easy, enjoyable adventure in a magnificent environment.

Gear

  • Set of camalots up to size 3.
  • Aliens of colors red, green and yellow.
  • Set of nuts.
  • Slings for rock anchors.

Overview

Pitch 1: 35m, IV

Clean pitch, enter through the obvious chimney and look for a crack to the right. When it ends, move left and straight towards the balcony where the belay station is located.

Belay Station: Bolt with a ring.

Pitch 2: 30m, IV+

Clean pitch, go straight towards the first bolt of the Omar Ben Hafsún route. Before reaching it, veer to the right (optional to clip it), climb a few meters on easy terrain towards a small tree that will be bypassed on its left side. Then, continue trending to the right until reaching terraces where you can set up a belay (many options).

Belay Station: Rock slings and floating gear.

Pitch 3: 20m, IV+

Clean pitch, head to the right, avoiding all vegetation, until reaching the steepest wall. Enter it diagonally to the right using slab-like holds. Before finishing climbing the slabs, go straight up and trend left, looking for a gap between two large rocks (slightly dirty section). Once past them, you'll reach a large terrace where you can set up a belay.

Belay Station: Rock slings, floating gear (many possibilities).

Pitch 4: 15m, IV

Simple final pitch to the summit. Leave the belay station heading to the right, aiming for a large slab. Beneath it, there's an abandoned nut, indicating the moment to go straight up. Once past the slab, continue on easy and obvious terrain, trending right.

Belay Station: Summit blocks, rock slings...

Descent

We will descend using the rappel line of the Omar Ben Hafsún route.
