4 Ayahuaca vision

This is the first set of bolts to the left on the main wall to the right.

Great beginner climb with lots of feet and hand holds, it is well bolted for training lead climbing.

There are so many foot holds that if you move your feet more than 30cm you are doing something wrong :)

5 San Pedro trip

Starts to the right of Ayahuaca vision, has a really high first bolt due to first two being removed.

As with Ayahuaca vision there are many holds and it is a great climb for beginners and to practice your foot work

If the 12 meters to the first bolt is a bit much, you can take up 2 slings and sling the bollards. Note that bolt count does not account for the slings

6 * Chuchuwasi Power

Down to the left of the bolder leaning against the wall, this climb is the left of the two.

As with the theme of this wall there are lots of foot and hand holds making it an ideal spot for beginners and intermediate climbers to practice their technique.
