★ Normal de Cueva Mahón 3

Approach: From the Camping Tajo Rodillo parking lot head into the park along the clearly defined trail with the Peñon Grande on your right hand side. Continue up until you can cross over to the large gully on the east side of the main peak. Scramble up scree until you see a small cave on the right side of the gully. Directly across the gully from the cave you will see a narrow dirt path that zig zags into the rocks. This is the beginning of the route.

Route: Start heading up the path of least resistance. Keep an eye out for signs of foot traffic and you'll be on the right path. Most of this route can be scrambled. There were only 2 or 3 short sections which required the rope. Keep heading up to the flag.

Descent: Once at the flag, continue along the summit ridge to the west for about 200-300 meters. The ridge will eventually peter out to a grassy saddle where you start heading straight down hill. Head to the short down climb at approximately: (36.7520, -5.3809). You may see the down climb path blocked by a wire gate, but just step over. Not sure why it's there as looking for another place to get down the cliff will turn into its own adventure. From there you will link back up with the main hiking trail to the parking lot.

Gear beta: light rack of small to medium cams and stoppers.
