Description

The newest area in El Salto. Hike up right 10 minutes from El Jardin to the overhangs at the top of the valley. Huge potential. Keep your eyes out for more new routes soon!

Approach

Trail is marked on trees.

Ethic inherited from El Salto; C.d.G.

Climbing around Cienega de Gonzalez developed over many years and was and is being carried out by many different developers. Many of them local Mexicans but also loads of foreigners that pass through, bolt and "disappear". The information about climbs in this area is thus incomplete in the sense of route names, developers, first ascensionists and sometimes even grades. Please contribute by entering your grade contributions (Edit Route, enter grade, safe) and by adding new routes and information whenever you encounter it. The climbing community will be thankful!

This route is the one left of Troska Ninja. It is a tall route (42m) with sub anchors for the rappel. It starts off with slab type moves with the crux in the thin vertical section just below the palm tree and then the fun starts when it gets in your face and the overhang starts. The bolts up top are a little run out. It can be done comfortably with a 60-70 meter rope.

Technical headwall up to super overhanging then roof.
