Routes in Central America for selected grade

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

Locazed on the right.

Maybe more than 12 bolts ?

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.

Variante de "El Zope"

La ruta se llama Comedor porque justo está bajando es una pupusería de piedra que era el comedor del escalador salvadoreño.

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

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.

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

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.)

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

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

Se establece como el primer 5.11a de Acid Rock. Es una secuencia de boulder desde los primeros 4 metros. La fuerza de dedos, pasos de talón, movimientos de cadera son atributos que debes poseer en tu repertorio para encadenarla. Una vez superado este problema de bloque la ruta se vuelve más sencilla.

Intricate movement on small holds lead to a movie finish.

Movimientos intrincados en agarres pequeños para un final de pelicula.

The obvious roof on your way to Salvadoreña.

Nice sustained route that sees little traffic. This used to be the men's ultimate route for a "roctrip" style competition years ago.

Via bonita y sostenida que ve poco trafico. Esta via era la final de la categoria masculina de una competencia de escalada en roca hace años.

fun crux, seldom climbed so that is where it gets the name.

crux divertido, ve poco trafico y de alli ve su nombre.

Very fun route involving a well protected, intense crux, has tree shade, making it a crowd favorite

Via divertida que involucra un crux intenso y bien protegido, tiene sombra por lo que es la favorita del publico.

A fresh take on crimps up a beautiful arete, what's not to like?

Nueva perspectiva con agarres pequeños en una arista hermosa, que mas queres?

One of the most iconic routes in Amatitlan, three pitches of diverse and fun moves. Third pitch involves wicked hard crimping and it´s FA is shrouded in mystery.

Una de las rutas mas iconicas de Amatitian, tres largos de movimientos interesantes y diversos. El tercer largo es con agarres minusculos y su primer ascenso esta envuelto en un misterio.

Envisioned and bolted by Carlos Chong, a long, sustained, technical climb with nice moves.

Concebida por Carlos Chong, una ruta larga, tecnica y con buenos movimientos.

Climbs the unique-looking red coloured rock, 10m past "Tributo". Technical face and sharp crack. Bit chossy but worth climbing. Recently rebolted.

Slightly right trending crack. Unknown location.

Enjoyable continuation to El Kotex. Bouldery slab, exposed. Can be climbed in one or two pitches. Careful with your rope on the sharp edges.

Located 15m to the left of "Santiago Diablitos". Very unique rock features on the overhung section to start. Widely spaced reunion located on very inclined slab... As such, it's not recommended to climb on TR, and best to clean on rappel.

Being relatively far from the other climbs at Forum and hosting a physical scramble up to the uncleaned base of the climb, La Malanga, perhaps unsurprisingly, rarely sees action. If you do venture north to where the rivers meet and feel like giving it a shot, expect a decent mix of hold and crack climbing. A word of warning, the wall that La Malanga calls home can be a tad chossy; helmets are always a good idea.

This route hosts a great mix of crimps, pockets, jugs and stemming. Located two routes to the left of La Buseta, start on some technical and crimpy moves that traverse slightly to the right before making headway to a horizontal crack with a rest. The mildly overhanging section of the climb provides the physical crux of the route, with a key two-finger pocket that allows for quick movement onto a more vertical face with a ledge. Most likely to be dirty, but a great resting location nonetheless, the ledge also provides a little mental confidence before you continue upward through the final section of the route where handholds become scarce and stemming and friction based moves are more likely to get you to the super shuts.
