TNT Wall Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

1. TNT Wall 16 routes in Cliff

Summary:

Seasonality

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 25.948853, -100.474924

description

A very varied wall with easier and slabby routes down low, some multi-pitch routes and vertical routes on pocketed limestone higher up. The higher section stays in the shade most of the day in December / January but the climbs are in the sun in mid / late afternoon.

access issues

Most of the climbing here is in a State Park. As of 2023 there is a one-time 250 peso fee to climb for the entire winter climbing season. Please help maintain a clean environment in order to help maintain these privileges. Respect the local land people by packing out what you pack in.

approach

Hike up like for Mini Super and continue along the cliff, you will first reach some easier slabby but nice routes on dark grey rock. Continue higher up on a partially steep path to reach the next routes until you reach a small plateau for more pocketed routes. Hike down a few meters for the last routes and to continue to The Conundrums.

ethic

Please don´t litter, some crags like LaHuasteca are a little runout, but thats how they were set, please avoid adding bolts. Rebolting efforts are much apreciated, just send a heads up to the local climbing comunity for safety reasons.
