San Félix, Medellín Rock Climbing

This is one of the best climbing areas in Medellín. It is all granite and the views are spectacular. The various crags here all overlook waterfalls and the city of Medellín. The majority of the climbing is sport but there are single pitch trad routes as well. There is also great canyoning and parapente (paragliding) here. Note, the climbing and canyoning is all located on private property so you must check in at Aventura Psiconautica before climbing here; they are largely to thank for securing climber access to this area, they speak perfect english and can help you with current details for whatever your adventure may be. Please do what you can to help the locals' efforts in this area and do not mess anything up here. Numerous crags in this area are under active responsible development and new routes are going up all the time. There is a lot of potential here and definitely opportunity to open new routes / put up first ascents but you must work with locals if you wish to help/join that effort (again, just talk to Aventura Psiconautica, they will tell you what's going on not just in this area but all over the Colombian climbing scene - aventurapsiconautica.com/). Donating some bolts and hangers would be a nice gesture and certainly tremendously appreciated by the local climbers.. climbing hardware is all imported and therefor very expensive in Colombia.
