Access Issue: Some areas are on city property and other areas are on private property. Details

At this point (updated to October 2024) access to the sierra is not restricted, but the freedom to climb here lives in a tenuous balance. Fires are strictly prohibited and absolutely do not camp in the sierra (there is a paid camping area on Calle 32). Do not block access to gates if you park a car at an entry point, never damage fences, don't litter, and, overall, be respectful and maintain a low profile.

Description

Another easily accessible area, this one with a nice variety of good quality problems ranging from V0 to V11, high up the hill, in the trees. I've subdivided the area into two smaller areas: the massive boulder called "La Cabezona" and an upper band of boulders about 30 meters further up the hill.

Getting There

Begin the approach as for Aracnofobia: park at the gate (la tranquera) at the end of Calle 95 and walk uphill on the dirt track a couple of hundred meters till it crests out. At this point, you can continue straight up the hill on a faint trail or hike up a short hill on a dirt road to the left, to a small quarry. If you walk to the quarry, (visible as a clearly defined open area in the trees on the Google map) pick up a well-defined trail heading up a short hill on the south end of the quarry and then turn left, straight up the hill on another trail. Don't follow this trail when it veers left higher up, but continue straight up the hill until the massive boulder called "La Cabezona" appears to the right.
