dated Feb. 2004. This is a 4 over by the Fronton area. I guess it has no name because it is not so difficult. It is a bit windy because it is more facing the sea than Paraiso. I also thought it was a bit jagged (not fun if you bang your knee). That and the fact we never climbed at El Fronton made me leave the harder routes for thenext trip. this route by the way has a 2nd pitch that goes into sort of a wide jagged orifice. Since i left my chain mail at home, I decided not to go for it. BTW the routes here were all bolted and slinged, although of older state than at Paraiso.

I started this one but chickened out because it was getting late and we had to catch a plane. i really am kicking myself that we found out about the Paraiso area on the last day. next time, this puppy is mine. i know its within my capability.

This is me and a local friend we met on La Balena. We gave him a free ride and he seemed to really enjoy it. I hope in the future, some more of the locals get into it. I also think it would be good for the locals if this area became a little more popular.
