Puerto Rico Crag Conditions

I am considering going to Puerto Rico in the spring to climb and I’m wondering if anyone has been there relatively recently and can provide me with any information regarding the condition of the crags. I’ve climbed at Nuevo Bayamón, Cerro Las Tetas and Caliche a couple of times and really enjoyed it but have concerns regarding the post-hurricane state of the areas. Any beta would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I might just do that but I'm hesitant to bother a guide for beta when I have no intention of using his services.

He’s the nicest guy ever and will gladly give out info

I watched this several months ago and did get stoked all over again.

Just watched part of the video.  It's worriesome to see them placing stainless expansion bolts when I can see water in the background.    Those bolts won't last.

For sure, we're using titanium only in new crags like Playa Puerta Hermina on the ocean and it's a shame that they didn't use titanium on those new routes on Piedra Blanca as the steel will be worthless in a few years.
