Description Suggest change

Smaller and less-visited areas.

Tourists, you'll be better rewarded to visit the major crags first! Check out the best on the island:
- Pasillo Frío
- Cerro Las Tetas
- Flying Coconut
- Caliche
- Monagas

That said, there are all kinds of gems to find in these minor crags:
- DWS during the summer months in Cueva del Indio
- really hard routes on granite in Piedra Blanca
- the up-and-coming first crag of Arecibo
- Puerto Rico's OG crag, Viejo Bayamón
- a steep tufa roof in El Semil
- a few hard classic lines in the Kioskos
