Routes in El Salto; C.d.G. for selected grade

Ruta en la cara principal de la zona (cara visible desde la carretera). Empieza con un ligero slab, sube a una pequeña cueva en dónde se puede descansar, posteriormente sigue hacia la derecha por un slab y un muy buen descanso, después sigue por una grieta bien marcada hasta la reunión. La piedra se vuelve algo areniza en la sección de la grieta.

Pitches:

1. grey, straight up, left of palm tree, slightly left towards the end.

2. grey to orange rock, over bump to anker.

3. start travers right, continue up slightly right.

4. start smal travers right, straight up to diagonal side crack

5. straight up to Orange dihedral, anker on the right of the palm tree.

6. easy straight up. Best to extend the anker for belay comfort.

7. Topout left (6m) no bolts

Gear:

80 meter singel or double 50 needed to rap! 15 quick draws (1 or 2 long ones could be handy)

Approach:

Walk from town to the El Salto canyon, pass the "Dona Kika Wall" on the left until you reach the goat herders shed, about 50 meters after you cross to the other side of the canyon and start walking up follow the trail marked by stone cairns.

Decent:

Walk down possible to the right side, come down near the big prominent slab. Rap down using the same ankers. (in the slight traverse of P3 there is a fixed draw in situ to back clip while rappelling).

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.

The last route on the left of animas wall. Start on watchtower and tread left of pinch -o-rama.

Route full of side-pulls and underclings.Easy jugs finish.

Starts on top of the "middle flake" and finishes with the nice grey tufa. The classic warm-up with great moves on solid stone.

Go straight up.Don't expect to flash this. Nothing is what it seems

Goes to the right. Interesting start treading right to a super jug slab.

Starts on the right side inside the cave and leads out to an anchor just next to the big tufa.

Unfinished route with abandoned quickdraws.

Starts on the big separated block and continues on the head wall. Rebolted with glue ins November 2015.

This is the "3rd pitch" leaveing the anchor to the right and up through tufas to the lower anchor below the obvious bush.

Good climbing.

Evan first epic try at bolting ground up. A few days of cleaning yields a super great route, but a little short.

Continue to the tufas straight up.

Es el diedro que termina en techo.
