Vias em El Salto

Ruta con reunión incompleta.

Multilargo de 3 largos.

Left most route. Three roofs and a run out headwall at the top. Belayer beware. Full anchors.

Extension of Almost Believe That They're Real. Continue past the first anchors through the roof and thin headwall up top to full anchors.

Start on the right side of the center wall, in a left facing dihedral. Climb past jugs through the roof and punch it to the chains past the second roof.

Use the first 4 bolts of Jimmy's Route then tread left. Followed by 25 meters of steep tufas and knee bars to the delicate finish below the anchors.

Please avoid touching the blocs in the gully on the left at the start of Jimmy's Route and El Camelion Azul. A familly of large exotic tropically colored Lizards live in that habitat.

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 does not see a lot of traffic, please provide info as you can.

Designed to be a trad route: lots of bolts, easy rappels, three or four bolt belay stations. Start just left of the lowest point on the wall. Bivy possible after pitch six. Cut under the obvious orange roof on pitch 11.

Start right of the lowest point of the wall. Unfinished project.

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.

Tricky moves through steep.

Heading to the tufa tongue.

Roof to the tufa system left of pornarchy. Shares anchors with Pornarchy

Start at the end of the low roof and cut left into serious tufas.

Technical facd climbing up to super steep tufas.

The left route on the prouw with different types of hangers.

Up straight and left for the last bolt and anchor.

A route with very old hangers located not far from the wooden structure.

Route has no anchor.

DO NOT CLIMB as it is DANGEROUS.

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.

Climbs the dihedral up-right to straight finish to anchors

Short route with anchor right of the small tree. Robin named this route. I don't know why but its funny. Watch the loose blocs above the anchors.

Climb to the intermediate anchor of Power of Cheeze which is actually according to some local intel: El Poder del Queso

It's run out and it has some chossy rock, but also some fun moves

Runout. Scary!

Starts left of bush to anchor under roof.

Going up the yellow rock with a bulge in the middle.Classic crimping up orange bomber rock.

Starts behind the small tree / bush into the open dihedral. Start on Malavisco and go straight up to a broken hold. Worth doing.CURTIS LOVE 2004

Starts on Bongkatron, but finishes on Cara Cortada.

Start on the left side of the left boulder detached form the wall, first bolt is high up the wall, a few moves off the boulder.

The perfect warm-up, super nice climbing on mostly good holds.

Look at the tufa above the first anchor and you just want to climb it! 4 more bolts.Full value and amazing 4 bolts of pure pinching(not)up high.

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

Starts on top of the right (pointy) flake.

Starts right of the flakes, has 2 "random" perma draws on it.

One of the first routes on Las Animas.Classic.

Bajar a la primera reunión para poder descender al piso (aun con cuerda de 80m). Climb culo de la negra and continue for another 20m , lower to the first anchor to get to the ground (even with an 80m).

Second route just left of the big tree.2nd pitch is 5.11d , rarely done because of massive beehive nest 3/4of way up.

Long, sustained, technical, endurance climb. There is a big bee nest along the way and you have to literally go through it. Usually the bees don't do anything if you move slowly, don’t touch the nest and you're not sweating. But sometimes they do attack. It’s quite a challenge and it adds up to the adventure.

Starts just left of the big tree and crosses right above it. Belayer be careful at the 4th crux moves.

Extension de "Tufa Lina"

The obvious grey tufa just right of the big tree where the flat dirt platform meets the dirt road.

A hold broke at the crux, new grade at 5.13a.

Climbs the huge tufa. Originally graded 5.11b! It seems a hold broke at the start making it 5.11d or even 5.12a. The boulder start is the crux.

Goes up left along the big grey tufa ;-). Steep start and tough finish once you loose the tufa to your right.

That route climbs the best tufa of Las Animas. Near the top of the tufa you head right for some juggy climbing until you reach the beautiful orange streak. The headwall offers very good climbing on good crimps, side pulls and other cool features. Clip the bolt line right of the tufa, It shares the anchors with Inercia.

It’s the first route to the left of the fence.Dirty corner to a slab with small holds and long resaches. Short. Not worth doing.

Impossible looking orange slab to cool climbing above.

Start in the corner with a boulder move and move up through some slab moves(Hard) to reach the tufa and palm tree. Rest. From there, prepare for 25m of super steep and exposed climbing. Probubly the best route of its grade in the park. Closed now due to Historical Research.

Start left of "El Primer Paso" in a corner and continue up passed the anchors for a mind crushing pump.Stellar and super clean.Good job boys!

Climb up the left side of the huge tufa.

Climb the blue and orange slab up and left Through tufas and a little surprise at the end. The classic on the wall. Nothing beats it.

5 more bolts and 12 meters off the anchors of Bunga Bunga for the grade. Enjoy the runout at the 3rd bolt. If you call this 13c, you obviously had extended draws at the anchors when you did it to help you through the last moves before clipping the actual anchor. Climb it like it was done, then we will talk.

Share the firsts bolts with “Unga Bunga” and goes right at the 5th bolt through fixed draws for 35M power endurance climbing.

Lower bolts are removed because of petroglyphs higher bolts remain.

First bolts are chopped. Climbed to the sub anchor(14a) by Ricardo Vara in 2016. Offical FA by Bruno "Machina" Garcia Feb 2019.

Starts with Dias de Purgatorio but trends out left to the Anchors

Travesía; escalas hasta el descanso de "Días de Purgatorio" y te vas hacia la izquierda en la travesía.

Extension of El valiente. Keep going to massive tufas and runouts.

Starts just where the road hits the wall on your way down. Same start as Bizzare Contacts and same finish too, but trends left arround the tuffas instead of right.Watch the ground fall at the 2nd and 4th bolts.

Drive your biceps and fingers through the first crux to a rest, then enjoy the rest of the 5.13 climbing to the anchors. Original entrance through "Bizarre Contact" but when climbed through "Días de Purgatorio" it’s named “Murder Weapon”.

Drive your biceps and fingers through the first crux to a rest, then enjoy the rest of the 13 climbing to the anchors.

Hard bouldery crux at the bottom followed by a good rest and then a heady crux up top. 3 huge tufas mark this route on the right side of the wall near the 4 wheeler trail.

Start on Bizarre Contact and continue straight in between the huge tufas. Needs a good brushing. Bouldery and pumpy in the chains...

Extension of Tufa King Pumped... I hope you like run outs!

Hard bouldery route, short but worth the effort.

The extension of Tufa King Short. A little more than 40m long... Use a 70m long rope to go to TKS anchors or a 80m to go all the way down, barely...
