Upper Tier

International > N America > Mexico > Nuevo Leon > El Salto > La Sabrosa

Description

This upper wall has some amazing rope stretching tufas climbs. Bring a 70M rope, and depending what you are getting on be prepared and tie a knot in the end. Shade comes a little later than for the lower wall.

Getting There

2/3 of the way up to the cave at the top of the lower tier there is a brown slab split by a crack. Scramble up and down between the tiers here, but beware the slick rock. At one point a fixed line aided the ascent and descent, but it is no longer in place. A bolt does exist and a fixed line could be used if one were so inclined.
