Description
Always shady
This wall offers climbing on tufas and crimps and stays in teh sahde most of the day. The sun only arrives very late in the afternoon. The rock quality at the bottom is not the best but some of the routes are still good. Partially overgrown by vines.
Approach
Continue for about 500 meters passed the main wall and take a faint trail to the left to a grey wall with tufas.
Ethic inherited from El Salto; C.d.G.
New route potential
Climbing around Cienega de Gonzalez developed over many years and was and is being carried out by many different developers. Many of them local Mexicans but also loads of foreigners that pass through, bolt and "disappear". The information about climbs in this area is thus incomplete in the sense of route names, developers, first ascensionists and sometimes even grades. Please contribute by entering your grade contributions (Edit Route, enter grade, safe) and by adding new routes and information whenever you encounter it. The climbing community will be thankful!
History
It took 5 days of cleaning, 10 days of anti-biotics and 2 shots of cortizon to get this wall up and the 300+ pounds of vines off the rock and away from the base. Nathan and Ulric both got massive infections from the vines, Ulric mostly in the right eye. Both learned how to shoot themselves with syringes. The wall is now clean and offers the steepest tufa ridden and coolest moderates in El Salto. Mike would be proud.
