★ El Pichon 5.9

If you are looking for a mental challenge more than a physical one, El Pichon may be the climb for you. The route starts on the same line as ‘Verde’ however instead of heading for the chains after the fourth bolt climb towards the large crack on the right. Run out the crack for about five meters and you will find yourself at a small dark roof with the next bolt in reachable distance. Climb over the roof and briefly to the right before traversing back left to the anchors.

Respect the land owners.

They are kind enough to let you use their property for your enjoyment.

Respect other climbers.

Climbing is a community sport where the only opponent is the cruel crux that sends you airborne.

Respect the environment.

Above all, respect the environment. The plants, the earth and the rock itself were here long before you came into existence and will continue to exist long after you are gone. Sustain its survival by treating it properly.

• Pick up trash, even if it is not your own. Take at least one piece out on every trip.

• Do not kill flora or fauna, no matter how small or large.

• Live and climb as though you are organic with your environment.
