Important Environmental Note:
This area is part of a highly sensitive ecosystem and hosts rare endemic species, including *Asphodelus bento-rainhae*. Climbers and visitors should remain strictly on existing trails, avoid disturbing vegetation, and follow a strict leave-no-trace ethic. The preservation of this environment is essential to maintain continued access.
Climbing Style & Rock:
The sector features high-quality granite, known for its friction and technical demands. Expect a mix of precise footwork, small holds, and dynamic sequences on vertical to slightly overhanging terrain.
Safety & Conditions:
Due to uneven landings, the use of multiple crashpads and proper spotting is strongly recommended. Conditions can vary significantly, with higher humidity during winter months. Optimal climbing conditions are typically found in cooler, drier periods.
Good Practice:
Use appropriate brushes (soft bristles) to preserve the rock surface and minimize impact. Avoid excessive chalk use and clean holds after climbing.
