Description
This is an older sector that sees very little traffic, but the routes are good! Some people think it is difficult to reach, but this is because there is some tall grass that is thought to be infested with ticks. We fought our way through the tall grass with machetes and had no issue with ticks. Once you know the way, it’s actually pretty easy to reach.
Needless to say, you’ll have the place to yourself.
The routes tend to be dusty because they don’t get climbed often. Not to worry…get on, tick and brush your holds, and they’re good to go…a small price to pay for high-quality routes all to yourself.
The sector has about 15 routes. We climbed a really good 10d, 11a, 12a, and a couple 13a’s, all high-quality.
The cliff has a comfortable base area, and has shade until about noon. So get an early start!
Getting There
Approach as for Perseguida in G3. Yeah, that seems weird, but technically this wall is closer to G3 areas than G2, but that’s how they categorize it. Strangely enough, you can clearly hear climbers in Vale Zen while climbing here.
Go steeply uphill as if you’re going to drop into the narrow Perseguida canyon. Just before you drop in, cut left and follow the trail uphill staying just left of the Perseguida canyon. At the height of land is a flat area and you can see Foda through the tall grass. Wade through the grass to the base of the wall.
