Nodes in El Chanchuillo

This is it - the famous El Chonta cave with steep climbing, loads of stalactites, single pitch and super steep multi-pitch lines.

Most of the cave stays shaded all day, just the right side may see some morning sun depending on the season. Be aware that there is a lot of "wildlife", namely loads of moskitos and other insects during the warmer and wetter season.

This is the left side of the cave from the "entrance" down to the phallus feature. Great routes with good warm-ups and some real classics, enjoy!

Easiest route all the way to the left of the cave, probably not as much fun as any in the cave though! Shares the last 6 bolts and anchor with Fructisica.

Second one from left to right. Starts with the overhang behind the tree. Better than Katman, and it keeps getting better to the right! Shares last 6 bolts and anchor with Katman.

Starts with a high first bolt right of the big tree. Traverses to the right along tufas and up straight to anchors just above the small lip.

'Variant Fructaliser' with its extension after the first anchor on the more vertical terrain.

The route starting just 2 meters left of Seres Inorganicos. A tough start leads to very enjoyable climbing to a spicy finish. Shares the anchor with Seres Inorganicos.

The route just right of El Aliado. Brilliant, unique climbing that packs a punch. Solid at the grade. Last route starting on the right of the nice platform before the terrain drops steeper into the cave.

The obvious super-overhanging line that follows the "fang-line" of the left hand side of the cave. Another classic!

This is the classic 12d of the bottom of the cave. From the biggest mud platform you will be able to see in the wall, written in black at about 2.5m up, "El Jaguar". Up the tufas into multiple steep, tough, pumpy cruxes with excellent rests and moves in between. Very long!

Just left of the phallus feature at the cave's bottom. Climb up the tufas into inclined rooflet, crank above this and don't pump out!

Just right of the phallus feature at the cave's bottom. Pumpy, fun, unique, and excellent climbing. Trends slightly right.

Mala Fama (primer largo) and these 6 pitches are the ultimate route in the cave! 5 super steep pitches followed by 2 vertical ones. Top it out at pitch 7! No anchors XD!!
