About Pozas del Chipitín (hidrofobia, matacanes):
| the closest bolted climbs I know off is "el salto" there are ALOT of cliffs and boulders the area is actually more known for its canyoneering more than climbing. but of course the bolts for the rappels will serve as top ropes if you want to climb back up the waterfall. It is an absolutely GORGEOUS area great camping. and legendary canyoneering including sections where the river goes underground and you get to follow it through. a guide is strongly recomended in fact required by local authorities for some of the canyoneering stretches since once you start the only way to finish is to keep going and you need to know where to jump off the waterfalls etc... |
