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.

Extension of May Cow.

En la roca blanca a la vuelta de la esquina.

grado no exacto

Be careful with high first bolt

First pitch is Pablo’s Squirmfest.

Same anchor as Visado Familiar.

Just left of Leche de Mipalo with brown hangers. Shares first last bolt and anchor with Leche de Mipalo.

project, nog niet voorgeklommen.

Over sluikreclame gesproken....Atletische route waarvan de tweede helft het meest lastig is.

Locazed on the right.

Shares anchors with Cadenas, very cool moves in a groove up top, there is a creative knee bar somewhere in the crux.

Comparte la reunion con Cadenas, muy buenos movimientos en un elevador, hay un empotramiento de rodilla en algun lugar del crux.

Two pitches, first pitch is a 5.10d well bolted extension to "Nido de Halcones L", offwidth shenanigans and a bit loose if you start to wander. Second pitch is awesome, very atypical to Amatitlán with pockets and powerful moves on decent holds.

Dos largos, el primero es una extension con proteccion decente de Nido de Halcoles L, mucha tactica de chimenea y puede ser un poco flojo si se salen de la ruta. El segundo largo es increible, muy atipico de Amatitlan con pockets y movimientos fuertes en agarres buenos.

Named after a poem from Otto Rene Castillo, a poet brutally murdered during the civil war. The climb is great by the way, only face holds for full credit.

Llamada despues del poema de Otto Rene Castillo, un poeta desaparecido de la guerra civil. La via es buenisima por cierto, solo agarres en la cara.

Crimpy, slightly overhanging with an awesome sequence of jugs exiting a roof and a sustained finish.

Agarres pequeños, ligeramente desplomada con una excelente secuencia de movimientos saliendo de un techo y un final sostenido.

Starts a few metres right of Hijo de Gato.

Short, crimpy boulder problem.

First route on the right side of the sector "Nuevo Mundo". Recommended to extend 4th draw, and skip/extend 5th draw (easy slab section), to avoid rope drag.

This climb starts at the small dihedral to the right of the center of the wall. The first moves are bouldery, fun and technical, making an onsight to this route a real challenge. Once you have reached the first bolt, continue directly up and then slightly to the left for easier slab climbing and then finally the anchors shared with El Sombrero. Keep your nerves intact for the 5 meter run out between the last bolt and the anchors.

The middle north facing climb on the dislodged boulders is La Viagara. Using solely the face of the boulder, gloriously crimp this short route to the hanging chains above. You will find the climbing to be discreet and you will be at the anchors before you know it. For a much easier version of the same route, use the large crack between the boulders in a layback style to make the ascent. Sending the route in this manner brings the grad down to 5.9.

This climb shares its start with ‘Contigo Termina en Khadijah’. Ensure that you stay towards the right when the bolts carry into two separate lines. This occurs at the fourth bolt where you should make your way towards the right, then continue upward towards the anchors just before the large light coloured patch wall. Expect pumperific, sloping, solid 5.11 climbing until a good rest that allows you to prepare both mentally and physically for the crux to the hallelujah jug at the top.

Very similar to ‘La Luz’, Breathe is one climb to the left and one letter grade harder. The two climbs have a number of similarities. For starters, both end on the same anchors, have sloping, pumpy starts and have decent resting spots at about half way. Also, much like ‘La Luz’, the crux of Breathe only makes itself fully apparent when you are already in the middle of it. The crux is a stretched move, so this climb may be significantly harder for shorter individuals. Once the final piece of protection has been utilized make a short and easy traverse to the right for the anchors.

Appears to be a top rope only climb with anchors accessed using the Frontón Ferrata.

Extension to Equipo. This has NOT been rebolted, and still has old stainless bolts. DO NOT CLIMB unless found to be rebolted with titanium glue-ins.

Bolted/rebolted using titanium glue-ins.
