Routes
Regretfully, the route information below is unrefined in comparison to the other sections of this guidebook. Hopefully there is enough information provided to scout out each climbing spot and build your own beta. The climbing walls (which more often than not are high highball boulders) are listed as numbered on the map in the How to Get There section of this chapter. Each wall has various climbs as listed below.
Wall 1: The Multipitch
Two anchor sets side by side are at the top of the wall. The large wall has great potential for numerous additional routes, although finding it can be a real challenge, and the chances of getting lost are too high to warrant the hike without a local guide. Take a 15 minute drive northeast of town and then a 25 minute hike to the wall. Best to ask a local about how to get here. It is easy to become lost and the thick vegetation makes finding the wall difficult.
99) La Panzola, 5.8, 5b FA:
This hard to find rote is the top pitch of a possible 5 or 6 pitch climb. At the time of writing only the top two pitches have been bolted, but plans are in the works to complete the entire length of the wall. Using the anchors to the left when facing the edge, climbing the final pitch is easy slab with good edge like pockets with a run out about half way, and a crux finish for the anchors. Approximate Height 20m, 9 draws Information regarding the remainder of the pitches is needed.
Wall 2: Near Pirate Boulder The Pirate boulder is a irregularly shaped boulder on the right side of the road as you enter the town coming from the highway. It has been painted to look like a pirate and hence the name. There are many excellent boulder routes in the area and even some top rope climbs. More information is needed regarding all the climbs in this area.
