Description Suggest change

This north/north-east facing wall is the left-most climbing area on the front wall facing the campgrounds. There are three excellent multi-pitch routes here.

Routes from left to right:

Satori – 5.10c
3 Stone Place – 5.11d
Zapatista – 5.12a

(the first two start close together and Zapatista is located far to the right of them).

Getting There Suggest change

As of JAN 2019 getting to the trail head has changed. Start by parking in the dirt parking lot across from Quinta Santa Barbara. The miners gravel road should be down in front of you. Look across and left and you will see that there is a campground on the other side called Cuevo Del Jabali. The trailhead is ON the campground. Hike across and through their gate. Look immediately to your left you will see two trails, one leading left and one leading right. There is also a wood sign with "Tarahumara Pass, El Bobo, Plutomia..." painted on it. If you take the trail to the left, if will send you up a vertical trial just right of El Bobo. If you take the trail to the right 100ft, it will split. Take the left trail and it will take you up the same location but is less steep. Your choice. Once you get to the base right of El Bobo, follow the trail left and it will take you to the top of the ridge. El Bobo will be to your right and the starts for the Zapatista Wall climbs are just in front of you. The obvious trail will take you down and to the base of the climbs. 25-30 minute approach.
