Firulay Wall (The Gym)

International > N America > Puerto Rico > Rosario (San Germán)

Description

This is probably the steepest published wall in Puerto Rico as of right now. Offers about a dozen routes from 5.9 to 5.12c that are all high quality but a little short.

Getting There

Located on the left side of the crag. Take the left path where the trail splits or just follow the base of the wall from the Vertical Jamming wall.

[Hide Comment] I drove there today (12/13/20) for my first visit and the approach location had a fence and several private property signs posted that looked relatively new. Unless I was in the wrong location or a local knows something different, it appears that this area is no longer accessible. Anyone else know? Dec 13, 2020
