Locazed on the right.

De laatste 7 meter is erg lastig, maar met mooie bewegingen. Met een bijzondere no hands rest.

Climbs up the steep face just left of the corner on great pockets. Shares first bolt with Pikín.

This route climbs the corner with nice laybacking up to the right wall. Shares first bolt with Ana Banana.

The first route on the left wall after entering the cave. Start two metres from the downclimb and head straight up to the ledge with trees on it (anchors behind). Holds are small and footwork is precise. Crux is just below the ledge.

Climbs the slightly overhanging but juggy area to the left of On Belay Hombre. The first bolts can be hard to see (torch or local knowledge useful). Watch out for the smelly bat cave as you clip the anchors. (Note: Guidebook gives 6c, but locals are adamant that it’s 6b.)

Climb the obvious guppies on the steep wall on the right hand side interior of cave, just before the big tufa. The overhanging section is followed by nice face climbing.

Starts just right of the tree and shares the anchor with RM. Easy climbing to a crux to exit on the slab.

Same start as Puro Cubano but head right after bolt 2.

The classical test piece of Viñales. Taking the Bull by the Horn was a top rope problem following the same line.

Start right of the broken tufa on the grey slab and go up straight. Anchor is on top left of tree. Shares first bolt with Guajiras. Climbs easy on mostly sharp rock to a crux high up.

Shares frist 2 bolts with Tarentola but then climbs staright up on the face.

Goes up just left of the big tufa.

Start on the boulder and climb the face to reach the big flake. Layback up on poor feet to reach the tufa and follow the slab to a final overhanging section. The last 2 bolts climb very sharp rock.

Rebolted, starts between 2 tufas right of the cave and trends slightly right and up into the cave.

This is an alternate 3rd pitch of Mercenario and combines Mercenario and Have a Cigar.

Starts inside the cave, goes to the right and then to the left. Anchor has only chemical bolts with no rings or chains. To clean this route you will need to rappel down, clean the first 3 to 4 bolts down and continue to the anchor for route number 5. Then you can rappel down from that anchor to finish cleanining the rest of the route. If you try cleaning from the route anchor, it will be quite difficult. Easiest way to clean is on top rope and rappel down with the route already cleaned.
