A small climbing area with 2 sectors, one overhanging with harder routes facing west and a vertical one with easier climbs facing east.
A relatively recent addition to climbing in Guatemala with some of the hardest routes in a scenic and quiet setting.
The crag has two sectors that are reached via different approaches (see each sector for details). The easier, east facing once can be seen from Don Fernando's ranch, the overhanging one is located around the corner on teh same hill.
Make your way to the town of Jutiapa. From there follow the road in direction of Ipala. Shortly after the bridge that crosses the river (Rio Otsua O Grande) at (GPS14.4361030, -89.7269213) a small concrete road climbs up on your right. From there it is about 3.2km to Don Fernando's ranch. Follow the road uphill and then flat for 2km at which point you reach a T-junction. There take a right for 1.2km until you see a church (in construction) on your right. This church is already on Don Fernando's property. Follow the road for a bit more until you see the entrance on your right (GPS14.4223208, -89.7122781).
You may stay and camp at Don Fernando's ranch.
The climbing is located on the property of Don Fernando who generously allows access for free. Please respect the owner and ensure that access stays open. Carry out all trash, close gates and avoid disturbing the many farm animals.
Luis Girón who is a climber who grew up in Jutiapa, found the crag and together with David Galindo bolted the first routes here.
