About El Chiflon:
This is a series of waterfalls I don't know how many routes are present there are bolts starting at the top and follow the waterfalls down to the bottom some of them are rusty and a bit dicey but it is a beautiful place to climb (or even swim) but I personally would back up all the pro since the water has rusted a lot of it and a few of the unions only have one of the obviously original two left. I think your safest bet is start at the top rap down and then climb back up. the bolts are not placed for a lead climb. |
