The new section of the Rocodromo is amazing in both scale and physical demand, as it looms almost 20 meters high and most of it's routes are dramatically overhung. The routes of this section require a mandatory sport-climb ascent in order to fix a top rope, unless you can convince the manager to let you sneak upstairs to fix a line. Routes here require between 10 and 12 quickdraws for the sport ascent, unless you want to descend to take off your preceeding equipment. Most routes consist of large, easy-to-grip holds, and difficulty is generally produced by overhang angle. At the moment holds are rather sparse, such that there are not enough placed in order to necessitate taping routes. Having not climbed all of the routes in the section, and being that they are changed about every two months, I can't actually say what the highest-rated climb is.
