Esandi

International > S America > Argentina > Rio Negro > San Carlos de Bariloche

Description

Sunny all day long, great place to bring beginners, easy access with a car. All the routes are 4-6 bolts in length, many can be set up with Top Rope from above. Has a few harder (5.10/5.11) routes on the right side. Cat theme is based on the first day of route building when a crazy feral cat came screaming out of the cave.

Getting There

Take a taxi to the junction of Ruta 40 and Esandi. Or walk from the main bus terminal. From the junction the rock is obvious to see, walk across the desert on dirt roads for 5 minutes to the base.
