What about it?

This is the main crag of El Maitenal. There are 21 routes, going from an easy 5.10a off-width crag to 5.12d monster. There are always two chained anchors at the end of each route, so no worries.
For more details about the routes, see one of two guidebooks I uploaded to Maitenal.
I didn't climb all of the routes, so I posted only those I know and know what to say about them.
All the routes are described in situ with a name and grade, so there can be no mistakes with picking your favourite one of Maitenal's classics.
Some can be rappelled down, but it's not a very well placed rappel. Covers only 4 routes at max.
The last route, sin nombre, .10a, had a bee hive in the middle in 2018 and 2019, so check the signs and if there are still warnings about it, avoid that one.

A dónde vas?

8 minutes from the parking place, following an uphill path with an easy terrain. You will cross two turn-offs to Queso and then one fence, which is on the ground. So don't worry about your high heels, they'll do just fine.
