If ye be lookin' fer the meanest pirates this side of the island, then look no further. Tortuga be the port ye lookin' fer.... Okay, just trying to follow along with the theme of the area. Tortuga is located just north of Pirate's Cove, there is a large formation with boulders scattered around it. There are problems on the large formation as well as the surrounding boulders.
Getting There
Head to Pirate's Cove, then keep going for about 100-200 feet north and you will see it, you will probably see the Black Pearl first.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Tortuga:
Start in a black colored wash/dish. Move up into the right handed side pull. Next match with the left to make the side pull an under cling. Move right hand to a pinch and move the feet up. Work the left hand onto a nice left handed pocket/crimp and pull the right up onto a sloper. Move the feet up and push for the top out. A real nice problem that involves both power and technique....[more]Browse More Classics in CO
As of Sunday July 17th, 2009 there is a black dog leash that is attached to a dead tree at the base of the Widower Wall near the Black Pearl. We left it since we figured that the owners would realize that they left it there and other foot-traffic seems to be very low in this area.
