Contrafuerte de Jesus Christo

International > S America > Chile > 14. Los Lagos (… > Valle Cochamó > La Paloma

Description

This buttress is up valley from the main wall (Pared de Paz). From the main campsite in the valley, you can see an amazing looking crack on a separate wall that is left of Pared de Paz. That crack is "Go Big Or Go Home". Just around the corner in "Evangeline". Both of these routes are superb crack climbing that can get you warmed up or cooled down at the end of a day. Great cragging.

Getting There

Hike up past the main wall and keep going until you pass the descent gully for the wall of peace. The buttress is to the right of the cascades in the very back of the valley.
