Moderate climbs/walls in El Salto?
|
Heylo, I'm looking for info on good moderate climbs and walls in El Salto Mexico. Any leads? Most the stuff I see on the net is for the harder stuff. |

Hi Wylie, |
|
I want my good friend to join the trip but his partner is a very casual climber and not into steep sport climbing. I really want them to come but don't think I'll be able to talk them into it unless there's chiller climbing to be had. I know PC has lots but we're going to El Salto. I've found info on 2 different walls with climbs from 5.7 to 5.10. I'm guessing there's moderate stuff down there. |

Hey Wylie, |
|
Cool. Thanks! The more info I can get on moderates the higher chance I have of getting my friend to join us. How far is the drive from El Salto to El Potrero? |
|
There are these two routes on Las Animas. There are also a couple on the wall just before you get to Las Animas. It's about 2.5 hours from Potrero to El Salto |
|
Right on. Thanks Mark! |
|
And how much ground clearance is needed to access el salto? I understand you need a fairly burly vehicle to drive all the way. I am willing to walk, but would prefer not to hike miles every day. Will I be able to get close enough in my Toyota Sienna minivan? |
|
The hike into El Salto from the town is very mild. High clearance is only necessary if you want to drive all the way down the river bed and car camp closer to the wall. From Kikas to Las Animas wall on foot is no more than 20-30 minutes... |

Excellent. Thanks! |
