Peña de Bernal's South face/town side, is closed to climbing until further notice by the state of Queretaro.
The actual suspension of climbing on Peña de Bernal:
- All routes on the South face are closed.
- The via feratta is closed for ascent or descent, including the rappel.
- The summit is closed by any route, including those from Chichid'ho side.
- You may climb the North side and routes on Campamento Chichid’ho side (although you may not summit).
- This will make climbing Filo Noroccidental impossible since it would be very difficult and dangerous to rappel the route.

The area is private property, but climbers are very welcome. As of March, 2018, there is a 70 peso per day entry fee for anyone who enters the property to boulder or climb.
Description
This area has a boulder field with over a hundred problems from V0 to V12, and dozens of single pitch routes on three enormous boulders and the Peña itself, along with several multipitch routes. Most rock quality is solid, but be prepared for loose and hollow rock features.
Getting There
From Bernal: Follow Calle Corregidora until a place marked "El Puerto" on Google Maps. There will be a large boulder in the middle of the parking lot, head into a small group of trees until you see a wooden gate. The trail will take you to either the routes on the back of the Pena itself or will pass through the various boulders until you reach the Chichidho campground.
Each boulder is clearly marked by red text markers.
