El Escarabajo Rock Climbing

A relatively new sector about 30 minutes away from Mendoza. With roadside access and a wide variety of grades and angles this may be the best sport climbing destination near the city of Mendoza. Expect technical climbing on solid, skin-friendly crimps with mostly well-placed bolts. The rock is generally solid but some of the more recently developed walls still have some loose rock. New areas are being developed outside the main canyon but very little information is available. If you wish to explore the area further I recommend going on a weekend and asking a local for information or going into Mendoza and try asking at one of the gyms.

See https://goo.gl/maps/TkKJaF2kYnCQfaiN7 for where to park/get off your hitchhike and be warned that the owner of the little farm closes and locks the gate around 4/5pm, so park outside. That link also has some topos in the images
