Routes in Central America for selected grade

Start left of the block and follow the tufa line up to an anchor just right of the big stalactite. Great steep climbing on mostly good holds and a cool move over to the final tufa, one of the best lines in Viñales.

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

Shares anchor with Cuba Libre (top).

The first line at the crag (bolted ground up)

Extension to Ratapignata.

This large slab that becomes vertical and then slightly overhung is often described as “the best face climb in CR.” Start on the large boulder with a single bolt near the top of the boulder, before climbing up over a smaller boulder and onto the face of the wall where the second bold awaits. Make technical, fun and ever interesting moves to the anchors. Like a great lover, this classic only gets better and better the more you climb it.

Sustained moves on small holds all to the top after the 8th bolt; the top is the hardest part. If your rope is 60m or less be careful at lowering as it is impossible to get to the belay spot.

The crown jewel, much respect for the people that envisioned this climb. Three cruxes with two good rests in between.

La joya de la corona, mucho respeto para la gente que visualizo la linea y armo la via. Tres cruxes separado por dos buenos descansos

starts in the offwitdh, Intricate and powerful moves on overhanging terrain, it has a variation starting from the face that is much harder.

Empieza en la chimenea, movimientos intrincados y poderosos en terreno desplomado. Tiene una variacion empezando por la cara que es mucho mas dificil.

Se trata de la ruta que conecta el primer crux (hasta la tercera chapa) del proyecto con la cuarta chapa de la ruta 4:20 hasta su estación. Una vez que ya hayas colocado la segunda cinta express te encontra- ras sobre un reposo. Toma un buen respiro para sacar la artillería pesa- da. Se requiere alta fuerza de dedos, dominio del tren superior.
