Access Issue: Raptor Closures Details

Some routes are closed from January to August. This happens when Griffon Vultures or other endangered birds nest on the ledges near the route. You can consult escaladasostenible.org for an up to date list of climbing restrictions. You will also likely find a sign on the affected route itself. Please refrain from climbing on these routes as there are forces in Madrid's administration that would easily shut down all climbing in protected areas if they perceive that this compromise of closing selected routes is not working.

Description

Easy and fun climb to get started in La Cabrera in spite of the 6a+/5.10b pitch. This crux is bolted and can be easily aided. Everything else is 5.6 to 5.8. Pitch 4 is an absolute classic but everything else is not very exiting

Pitch 1 (35m) IV/5.6: Not so interesting scrambling up blocks to anchor on a tree (use sling)

Pitch 2 (35m) IV/5.6: More scrambling up blocks, nothing much to report, bolted anchords

Pitch 3 (20m) IV+/5.7: Weird short crack along the right of the square block to get on top. Watch out your foot does't get stuck

Pitch 4 (40m) 6a+/5.10b: Super enjoyable and very long pitch, starts on a technical and cruxy slab, first part takes a #2 cam then 3 bolts. If you can figure it out you can easily aid it. The rest is a long crack with holds everywhere and great pro.

Pitch 5 (20m) III/ 5.5: You can rope off here as its just as scramble to the top. If you prefer to be roped in you can reach the geodesic pole at the summit and throw a sling around to bring up your second

Descent: Walk-off from geodesic pole
