Description Suggest change

Has many moderate 10's and a few good great 11's. Here you will find the most climbers at Palomas.

Has a 15 foot band of chossy rock at the base of most of the climbs, be careful in this area. Most routes are closely bolted at the bottom for this reason.

** All routes are equipped with lowering hardware. Please don't toprope through the lowering hardware. Both gates of the lowering hooks are oriented facing forward and do not offer protection for toproping. Instead, build your own anchor with personal gear and have only the last person lower off the fixed lowering hardware.
