Multi-pitch climbing on pillowed basaltic-andesite flows and volcanic conglomerates.

Cerro Las Tetas is located in the municipality of Salinas, not Cayey, but traditionally it's referred to as Las Tetas de Cayey, possibly because the mountain range is called La Sierra de Cayey (which happens to span multiple municipalities).
