Crag features
The crag sits in a shallow gorge not far from the the small coastal town of Maro near Nerja. The crag sits in a lost of shade, therefore it's a good escape from the heat of the summer but is also sheltered from any wind in the winter. There are 2 seperate sector, the first sector you reach faces N and is the highest sector with routes upto 17m, the routes are a mix of edgy wall climbing with steeper pocketed bulges.
The other sector faces W but is partially shaded by trees. The routes range in length from 8m to 15m and are a mix of pocketed walls, tufa features, and overhangs. Routes on this sector pack quite a lot into a small space.
In the summer this is a great hang out in the morning and gives east access to the beaches to the E of Maro for a swim in the afternoon.
Some climbs added August 2018, but no idea of names so just numbered from left for west and north sectors. Grades a total guess too.
