Access Issue: ACCESS ISSUES Details

Peña de Bernal's South face/town side, is closed to climbing until further notice by the state of Queretaro.

The actual suspension of climbing on Peña de Bernal:

- All routes on the South face are closed.

- The via feratta is closed for ascent or descent, including the rappel.

- The summit is closed by any route, including those from Chichid'ho side.

- You may climb the North side and routes on Campamento Chichid’ho side (although you may not summit).

- This will make climbing Filo Noroccidental impossible since it would be very difficult and dangerous to rappel the route.

Description

Not technically south face, but accessed the same as Sunshine Wall. There are about ten fun, moderate routes that are down around the corner to the left of Filo Suroeste and the Sunshine Wall.

Getting There

Hike up the main trail as if you are going toward the Bernalina face. About 100 yards before Bernalina, take a side path that goes up the hillside. This side path leaves the main trail near a wire basket filled with rocks (see descriptive pictures).

Go uphill about 50 vertical feet on the side path to a boulder that is painted like a monster/dinosaur. This boulder is on top of the shoulder/ridge that comes off the Pena.

Follow a path down the back side of the shoulder/ridge, staying at the base of the rock. In about 100 yards, you'll come to a face with a series of left-slanting cracks that look a bit like a corrugated metal roof. There is a long, orange ceiling above this face. These are the rightmost, upper routes on this wall.

At the left end of this face, there's a drop off of about 20 vertical feet. You can down climb (a bit tricky with a pack), do a short rappel from the nearby tree, or backtrack about 60 feet and follow a path downhill that loops back around to the lower, leftmost portion of the face.

The routes in this entire sector are described from left to right, so this route is the farthest left on the lower face. It starts at a green dihedral on the left margin of the cliff.

While this approach sounds complicated, once you've done it a time or two, you'll find you can get to this face from the main hiking trail in about five minutes.
