Description

A crag with sharp dark gray limestone similar to the one in Playa Puerto Hermina (Quebradillas) but with the grooved rock face pattern and climbing style found in Pasillo Frío (Juana Díaz).

Eight routes ranging from 5.5 to 5.10b. In addition, just to the right of the 5.5 route, is a second rock face with five anchors on it. The leftmost of those five anchors is a bolted route, while the other four do not have any additional bolts yet.
