5.10a/b | La iguana
La Iguana is a climbing route with a short yet intriguing crux section. While it may not be overly physically demanding, it requires climbers to maintain close contact with the wall, hence its name, ‘La Iguana.’ This captivating route challenges your technique and balance, compelling you to stay intimately connected to the rock. With its unique characteristics and engaging crux, La Iguana offers an exciting climbing experience that rewards finesse and careful movement. One interesting aspect of this route is that the initial bolts are shared with the route called Hairy Hippie. Climbers start by clipping the first 3 or 4 bolts of Hairy Hippie before La Iguana branches off, becoming its own distinct line. FA: Guatemalaescala | 27m, 12 | |||

Hairy Hippie is a climbing route spanning approximately 35 meters. This route is known for being very easy and highly accessible, making it suitable for climbers of various skill levels.

This crux section requires a bit of technical finesse, but if you trust your footwork and maintain confidence, you'll navigate it with ease.

Enjoy the journey and embrace the thrill of conquering the crux FA: Guatemala escala | 30m, 14 | |||
5.11a/b | Pampatín
This climbing route presents a moderate difficulty level with a highly technical move that requires placing a lot of trust in your feet due to their small size and less reliable handholds. Following this intricate movement, there are two small roofs that offer interesting challenges, although not as intense as the initial technical move. Reaching the top requires skillful body positioning rather than pure physical strength, especially when securing the chain. This climbing route derives its name from a river that forms during the winter months, flowing right in front of the rock face. The route beautifully captures the essence of this seasonal river, combining its dynamic nature with the challenges it presents. The name serves as a reminder of the ever-changing environment surrounding the climb. As you ascend, you'll feel the connection to the elements and appreciate the harmonious interplay between the route and the natural surroundings. FA: David Galindo | 26m, 10 | |||
5.12+ | ★★★ Open Project
This climbing route is an exciting project, yet to be conquered by anyone. It begins with a highly technical slab section that requires precise compression techniques. As you progress, the route transitions into a challenging roof section with a demanding sequence of physically and technically demanding movements. Navigating this sequence successfully is crucial to reaching the top of the route. With its combination of intricate footwork, precise handholds, and physical demands, this project offers a thrilling and rewarding climbing experience for those who dare to take it on. Be prepared to push your limits both mentally and physically as you strive to complete this uncharted climb. | 24m, 10 | |||
