Once you get to the Cachi Dam (which from Cartago is 40 mins and anyone can point the way), look for this sign on your right and follow it all the way to Mr. Vidals house.

This is what the wall looks like from underneath at 1pm on a sunny day. You can notice two of the centre routes roped up and Anuar up in the right building another route. Great day...

Luis, Anuar, y Juan Diego (escalando) en Cachi. Got this shot just as the sun broke out after a rainstorm.

12/04: Piedra de Cachi: Interesting rock, great people.

This is me about to purposefuly rap off the end of this line we set up from the edge of the bridge. After hitting the water and swinimng a while, we hit the river boulders for some more climbing.

After a long day of climbing, we set up this rap off a bridge a few feet away from the base of the climb. We purposefully left the rope short, so you would have to eventually rap off the end and into the water. That's me just about to play human guinea pig.

That's Karl S. on the left and me on the right, working parallel lines. I had set up Caca Vaca to warm up, he took it down in his warm up, and I was putting it back up so one of our beginner friends could have a go at it; the travels so much it would be impossible to top rope it, it has to be unclipped on the way up. He is hard at work on la Viagra top rope.

A few feet above and to the right of the Impotencia line is this spot where you can turn and literally sit on a ledge, looking out over the river and at the surrounding mountains. We call it the throne, and it is truly a great view.

Andres Ulloa escalando Cachi Cross 5.12d, es una ruta muy cansada. La foto la tomo Nela

Estos extraplomos esta buenisimos, parecen como una pared artificial como con presas pegadas a la pared!!

Diego escalando la ruta, es un buen lugar para escalar pero a veces hace mucho calor.

Este soy yo asegurando a mi primo Andres, no se cual es esta ruta.

This is me redpointed "Cachi Cross" 5.12d, in La Piedra de Cachi

This is his first time climbing at a rock, he did really good!

Como se ve en la foto es una piedra muy peculiar y aunque tenga esa forma tan rara no es lo que parece

This is one of the first times I ever climbed on rock... looking at this rock now I know why I love it so much!

This rock is my favorite and it is so big!!! it is full of sloppers. It is the greatest rock!! I love it

Getting to the middle of the route of my favorite rock, Cachi. Lots of sloppers and big holds for feet.

This is the rear view of the rock. Here's where all the sport routes are.
