Ascents in San Cristóbal de las Casas by Grant Hodges

Broke a hold at the first draw

Fun little boulder to start

Extend/unclip some draws in the roof to avoid heinous rope drag

The bat cave will require a clean... but it's worth it!

Using the new Jan/Wade beta for the belly crux

The best route in San Cris? Surely one of them.

Amazing route! Bit of a mission logistically, but totally worth it. Seems a bit strong for 11a... Maybe a San Cris 11b+ for me. Ps. The belayer should secure themselves to a handle on the rock floor in order not to be dragged into the river..!

"Winnie the Pooh" variation, sin tufa. Climbs really well. Adds a technical, crimpy, slightly overhung sequence after the 11b crux, and eliminates the ugly tufa section of the original route. Highly recommended.

"Dirty Dancing" variation sin tufa, 10d

"El Camarón Pelao" variation sin tufa, 11c

Thanks for the motivation 🤡

If you use the arete until the chains, 11a. If you ignore the arete after clipping the final bolt, 11c

Fun boulder, and an adventurous sequence through the dirty tufa overhang afterwards. I agree with what Stu said below, simply doing the boulder and coming down using the fixed maillon at the 4th bolt/sling is a good option, your rope won't get wet. If you do continue, be sure to extend the 2nd last bolt/sling (the 7th overall, I think) as you're exiting the overhang, or downclimb later to unclip it, otherwise the rope friction is unbearable.

Haaaaaappy days 🐴

The fingers are happy to be rid of this one 😅

Sweet climb, unique. Spicy up top 🤙🏽

Really enjoyable boulder, once you figure out the sequence. 10d seems appropriate, since a key foot broke off.

Sick route. Climb left of the crack for the last few bolts for the best experience.

For me, the crux was in the belly, at 11b/c. Fun slab at the top, maybe 10c/d climbing, made harder if you're not used to the style or exposure.
