Routes in Caribbean for selected grade

Vorige topo "Caja Betico Croes", hernoemd. Fysieke overhangende passen, op 1/3 deel goede rustpositie in te nemen.

A traverse from below Warawara Dream to the start of Tears for Fears. Loads of pitch. Very physical with a lot of overhanging terrain. Excellent training route!

Deze route ontleent zijn naam aan de brok steen van 50 kilo die Frank Sillen op zijn knie kreeg hangend in het touw. Dak passage is het lastigste door de scherpe grepen.

A0 start

Extension of May Cow.

Rebolted with glue ins, expansion bolt next to glue in at first bolt.

This route climbs the left edge of the tunnel entrance.

• Pitch 1: Stay left after bolt 2 and pass right behind the tree on the ledge to an anchor left behind the big stalactite.
• Pitch 2: Move right behind the stalactite on the ledge to another anchor.
• Pitch 3: Trends slightly left from the anchor.

Lower down from the top to the stairs. Easier to clean pitch 1 in top rope.

The classical test piece of Viñales. Taking the Bull by the Horn was a top rope problem following the same line.

This route climbs right of the big flake on the flat arete.

Links into Pink Lady.

First pitch is Visado Familiar.

This climb starts right of Mucho Pumpito and joins it at the first anchor. Pitch 2 is the same and Pitch 3 is the "left variant". Descend as for Mucho Pumpito.

An absolutely awesome route with great exposure and rock structures you have to see to believe!

Access the start by hiking up to the cave. It is best to prepare in the cave and leave your stuff there. Scramble up the ledge on polished rock on the left of the cave and look for the tufa column on your right.

As of May-2019 only the first 2 pitches have been rebolted - as with all routes at the Costanera watch the bolts if they are not re-bolted glue-ins!!

• Pitch 1: 9 bolts; Start right of the tufa column and up into the cave to exit it to the left. Follow great holds to an anchor right of the "Mucho Pumpito Ledge" - a very comfortable belay for pitch 2. The anchor consists of 3 unlinked glue-ins.

• Pitch 2: 11 bolts plus a couple of slings; follow the super exposed overhanging arete out right on increadible holds for 30m of pure fun. A no-hands rest at the tufa in the middle might reduce the pump. A sports anchor is located on top of the ledge.

• Pitch 3: A short pitch out right (the original last pitch). Many people do not climb this pitch, if you do, lower down to the anchor and rap from there to the ground. An alternative to the left is available as well (see "Pssst!" pitch 3).

Bolted/rebolted using titanium glue-ins.

Dirty start to big stemming corner with wide crack to the top.
