Description

Cueva a un lado de la carretera (Cave on the side of the road) sobresaliendo como roca! Also known locally as Corral de la Marrana/las chivas. Lots of sun during the late afternoon / early evening. Steep overhang, with a variety or sport route difficulty ranging from easy to difficult, that is very accessible from the main road headed north out of the small community of La Ciénega de González, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Area partially developed by Joe Bert Guadarrama. Route descriptions and updates will be added soon. Lots of other projects currently in the works! Presently, as of Jan 2018, about twenty routes are bolted ranging from 5.9 - 5.13+. Easier warm-up lines are on the left side of exposure and head up a slab towards the upper, steeper face.
