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 first routes you see as you come up the trail from Sector 1. The top of the route splits and you can choose the arete (left) or the crack (right) for a few meters. It converges again at the anchor.

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.

Classic route involving delicate crimping and two mantles, no shade so it´s best done early.

Via clasica con agarres pequeños y dos mantles, no hay sombra por lo que es mejor hacerla temprano.

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.

A good warmup route because of nice holds and laybacking. One of the first climbs in Amatitlan.

Comparte cadenas con Corrosion, una buena via de calentamiento por los agarres grandes y la grieta. Una de las primeras vias jamas escaladas en Amatitlan.

Five stars, the standard back in the day, definitely the jumping platform for harder climbing in Amatitlan. Don't use the cracks on either side near top for full credit.

Cinco estrellas, el estándar para las primeras generaciones, definitivamente la plataforma de salto para la escalada mas dura de Amatitlan. Para obtener todo el credito, las grietas a ambos lados cerca del top, estan fuera de limites.

Intricate movement on small holds lead to a movie finish.

Movimientos intrincados en agarres pequeños para un final de pelicula.

A consistent crimp fiesta on a plumb line. The route involves a specific sequence that every climber solves differently. Skip the big ledge out right for full experience.

Una linea vertical y consistente en agarres pequeños. La via tiene una secuencia especifica que cada escalador resuelve de manera diferente. No tomar la repisa a la derecha para la experiencia completa.

Resistance on good holds. Highly recommended.

Easy route but with tricky sequence of moves at the top

Mellow climbing through the arete then it's tree climbing to the chains.

Nice beginner route. Has an anchor at the 7th bolt, before the chossy section.

A favorite among the crowd that is getting more confident with leads, can be climbed by so many different ways.

Una via favorita para escaladores que estan aprendiendo a puntear, se puede escalar de muchas diferentes maneras.

WARNING: 70m rope needed.

One of the most classic routes in Amatitlan because it is tall and mellow.

Una de las vias mas clasicas de Amatitlan porque es alta y tranquila.

Shares the same bolts as "LNFS" but uses the arete for the entire duration of the route. There used to be a lower reunion, the grade up to this point was 5.9. Now the reunion is higher and requires a technical crux move, increasing the grade.

On the left facing wall around the corner.

Extension to Cadenas, cool moves and 3D climbing for managing the obvious bulge.

Extension de Cadenas, buenos movimientos en volumenes para escalar la saliente. It can also be done starting at "el Moco Direct"

Bouldery moves out of the obvious roof to very mellow climbing.

Nice climbing on an arete with a dirty jungle climbing finish. Anchors need an update

tricky climb, can be climbed with good technique and little strength.

Via que tiene su maña, se puede escalar con buena tecnica y poca fuerza.

Nice near-vertical face. Grading doesn't allow use of the crack on the right.

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.

Start just to the left of Las Nenas. First bolt very high, but can easily be clipped by walking around. Route grade allows the use of the arete after the 1st bolt.

Starting left a bit higher up on the block.

It has anchors at the midle. So it can be done in two pitches, but one 60 m rope is more than enough for the whole route. The first half is probably a 5.7 and the second half is more like a 5.10a. If doen only using the face crimps is a nicer challenge (probably a 5.10b). If from the anchors you go the left it gets to another top called Equinoxio.

bouldery and reachy . FUN!

Nice slightly overhung resistance route. Some of the nicest rock and best climbing in CQ. Careful of a few large, loose blocks in the middle of the route. Rebolted 03/22

Good mellow route with a nice sequence of holds.

Bonita ruta moderada con una secuencia de agarres interesantes.

The middle one of the 3 routes on this wall.

It might have more than 12 bolts before the anchors

Beautiful route just left of "Sudor de mujer". Technical face climbing for the first half, crack climb to the anchor. Be careful, the crack section still contains a lot of loose rock, including some large boulders.

Second pitch of “Árbol de la vida”

Beautiful crack. Located across the path from "Hijo de Gato". Scramble required to reach the belay station.

Technical face climb without use of the arete, until the final move just below the anchor.

The first route you encounter as you climb the hill past La Ola and enter the Mundo Perdido canyon.

Thin and crimpy through the crux to easier terrain up top.

Estalada fina atravez del crux llevan a un terreno mas sencillo hasta las cadenas.

A proud line with incredible exposure, its crux consists of sloper slapping on overhanging rock near the top.

Nice, long climb on quality rock. Lovely slab at the top.

Crimpy start, easier finish.

Bouldery start into thin technical face.

Short, technical/bouldery face to the left of "El Kotex de ayer". Really fun. The reunion currently only consists of one bolt with a quicklink.

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.

Super classic, used to be the rite of passage for aspiring climbers, can be lead on gear.

Super clasica, era el rito de iniciacion para escaladores aspirantes, se puede proteger toda en tradicional.

Short bouldery route, left of "Varun de Neesha". Sit start 12b, stand start 12a.

Starts with the miniroof with a chain on the first bolt. Just left of the pine tree. Grade 5.10a if you use the chossy section to the right, for the first 4 bolts.

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

Second pitch for Entropia, jaw dropping exposure made accessible for the moderate climber.

Segundo largo de Entropia, Exposicion que deja boquiabierto al alcance del escalador regular.

Climb ‘Árbol de la vida’ and then right.

Maybe more than 12 bolts ?

Variation for El Moco, the crux is a little longer but easier than original line.

Variacion para El Moco, el crux es un poco mas largo pero mas sencillo que la linea original.

Second Pitch of “Good morning Baygon”

Cool route with some interesting moves.

Left around the corner from the arete. Grading does not include use of the arete.

Some reachy moves, sustained finish.

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

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

Bolted by an economics PHD, a little runout so you might want to set a TR from the anchors of Nido de Halcoles R

Armada por un doctor de economia, tiene chapas separadas por lo que es conveniente poner un yo-yo desde Nido de Halcones R para ensayar los movimientos.

Comparte reunion con "La cumbia de los pockets".

Start out with a crack that can only be protected with only pro, continue up to find a roof and a powerful sequence to reach the chains.

Empieza con una grieta que se puede proteger con empotradores, continua en deportivo a un techo y una secuencia poderosa para alcanzar las cadenas

Starts a few metres right of Hijo de Gato.

Traverse to the big flake, cool moves. Travesia a la gran hojuela a la derecha, buenos movimientos.

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.

Starts with the cracked blocks and a miniroof boulder (5.9), before you reach the 1st bolt... Then easy climbing until the first reunion. Second pitch is a beauty, thin edges on exposed slab.

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.

Second pitch for Good Morning Baygon

Excellent route. Climb the face before reaching the crack.

short routes on either side of crack, a lot of rope drag if you want to TR.

Vias cortas a cada lado de la grieta, tienen mucha friccion si se quieren hacer en yo-yo.

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.

Slab climbing at its finest. Good shade during sunny hours.
