8) El Pichon, 5.9, 5c FA:
If you are looking for a mental challenge more than a physical one, El Pichon may be the climb for you. The route starts on the same line as Verde however instead of heading for the chains after the fourth bolt climb towards the large crack on the right. Run out the crack for about five meters and you will find yourself at a small dark roof with the next bolt in reachable distance. Climb over the roof and briefly to the right before traversing back left to the anchors. Approximate Height 11m, 10 draws
9) No Hablar Espa単ol, 5.7, 5a FA:
No Hablar Espanol and Verde begin at the same point at the base of the wall and end at the same chain anchor. Climb the easy jugs and slopers to the second bolt. Here the route splits right or left. For No Hablar Espanol, climb left for one bolt and then move back right to a bolt before finishing on the anchors. This route is commonly used as a top-rope route and is a good place for beginners to get some real rock experience. Approximate Height 9m, 6 draws
10) Pura Vida Mae, 5.8, 5b FA:
Finishing at the lower hanging chain anchors with the green protective tarp, Pura Vida Mae shares its start and finish with La Impotencia. The only difference in the two climbs, other than the grade point difference and the number of quickdraws needed, is the direction to follow after the third bolt. For the easier of the two routes after the third bolt climb towards the right to the next bolt before moving back left and finishing on the anchors. For La Impotencia, from the third bolt head left and utilize the two bolts before moving up and right to the anchors. Pura Vida Mae is a good climb to set up a top-rope for beginners as both on and off the line are littered with good hand holds and good feet. It also has a forward leaning wall, allowing for long rests. I would not recommend this climb for someone learning to lead, as protection is not abundant. Approximate Height 9m, 6 draws
