Climbing Near Emiliano Zapata, México

The Cuarto Dinamo (or Acoconetla) area is home to some splitter (as well as some not-so-splitter) basalt cragging that would be classic 1-2 pitch stuff in Yosemite Valley. It's mostly trad climbing, with some bolted routes and some bolted variations. Most anchors and rappels are fat bolted stations, and most things were set up to rap with a single rope. One small note: a number of the splitter cracks here have wide sections, so it's worth lugging the big metal up the hill if you have it lying around. From the park entrance road, continue driving up canyon past many pullouts, stops, etc. Eventually the road turns into a bad dirt road (easily passable with 2WD) and after just 30 seconds on this park in the unpaved lot on your right. There is currently a sign for the Cuarto Dinamo here, and a warning not to go climbing without the necessary gear. Expect to pay 25-30 pesos to park. From the parking lot, walk up the road for five minutes, past a creek, until the road takes a sharp turn left. Instead of following the road, go right here at the hairpin and find a well beaten approach trail that soon rises rapidly into the thick scrub. Initially, follow the best looking trail at any intersections. After a few minutes, the trail passes next to a large pine whose trunk splits into an obvious three-pronged trunk system above. Just after this landmark is a tricky trail split at a smaller tree. Follow the obvious trail directly up for a denser dustier experience, or continue on the main trail by stepping back down at that smaller tree and contour until it rises steeply to the crags. This trail pops out near the base of Las Gamuzas route. It's a 10-20 minute hike from the car.

A bunch of routes, primarily sport, right next to the road towards the southern end of MX city near Estadio Olímpico Universitario. Routes are typically about 3-4 bolts with a few trad lines and boulders thrown into the mix for good measure as well. 50+ routes or so exist here with grades ranging from 5.7 to 5.12+. Some you can only TR as bolts/hangers have been removed from certain climbs, but there is plenty here to keep you busy for awhile. Even though the routes are short, I found many of the sequences to be enjoyable and engaging. Worth taking a day or two to check this place out if you're in the area. Drive to Estadio Olímpico Universitario and find parking north of the stadium. The crag is located just across the street, northwest from the stadium.

Área que se equipo durante la emergencia sanitaria de 2020 ya que la mayoría de lugares para escalar se encontraban cerrados y muchos escalaban en Texcoco, de allí el nombre que es un juego de palabras entre Cual y Cuarentena ya que en ese momento era exclusivo para los escaladores "locales" ya que solo ellos conocían el nuevo sector. Desde el estacionamiento sobre el sendero principal caminar aproximadamente entre 5 y 8 minutos se ve un pequeño letrero que indica los sectores principales, de allí a un par de pasos subir las escaleras (de momento en mal estado, pero es posible subir sin problemas). Nota: enseguida de la piedra grande vive una víbora de cascabel, tener cuidado y sobre todo no molestarla es su hogar (recuerda nosotros somos los invasores), ¡gracias!.
