Description Suggest change

Wonderful area with a consolidated set of excellent routes. In late December, it is shaded in the morning and late afternoon, sunny from 12noon to 4:30pm.

Routes are from 5.7 to 5.14, most being 5.9 to 5.11. Excellent rock quality.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk into Buitrera Canyon for a ways. When you go around the first noticeable bend, El Circo is on the right.
