Routes in Central America for selected grade

Shares first 2 bolts with "Unnamed 15" but goes up straight through the obvious big holes in the upper, overhanging section of the wall.

Locazed on the right.

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

Direct start to No Problem, Mon.

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

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.)

This route goes up the white pinchy tufas at the end of the cave to a first anchor on a big ledge. There are 2 more bolts that link this route to the anchor of the one further right. Shares last bolt and anchor with On Belay Hombre. Pinchy tufas down low lead to pockets.

P1- 5 - 10m, 5 bolts – Sometimes called La Cuevita because of the small cave. Climb to the small cave and ledge. The cave is called Cueva Lechuza and has good views of the valley. P2- 6c+ – 20m, 6 bolts – trend left P3- 5 – 15m, 5 bolts – Best if linked with pitch 2. Watch out for wasps behind… Overall, best done if the leader is lowered back to the second anchor and belays the second up the whole route, before being lowered back to the second anchor. Abseil from second anchor to ground.

The left variant for the second pitch.

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

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

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.

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