Crag features
The most popular crag close to Baños. A spectacular setting in the Cañón de Santa Baños, climbing right next to the Río Pastaza raging through the canyon walls. Climbing is on volcanic basalt, quite heavily polished by the Río Pastaza rushing over the rock for centuries. It's made even more slippery by a thin layer of dust that often covers some of the rock. Expect lots of weird angles, slippery feet and feeling around to find the best holds. Stays in the shade almost all day and also stays dry when raining due to the upper part of the wall being inclined. Topo available at: https://www.thecrag.com/photo/7159050369
Approach notes
Walk, drive or take a taxi to the zoo. Once there walk 100 yards to the San Martin Adventure place and pay your $2 per person. The Approach path wall is just down the path to the left. The main crag is further down and across a little gorge. Take care on the steps down, they are very slippery!
