Crag features

The Monte Corona lava tube (along with the Las Maretas seacliffs) provide the best and highest standard climbing on the island. There are several access points to the tube used by cavers and in 3 places the ceiling of the underground tube has collapsed, allowing climbers to establish bolted routes. The routes at all grades are very, very steep with a few grade 5's more grade 6's, the majority are grade 7's with a few grade 8's. The holds can be quite sharp and although none of the routes are 'classic' some are very good and the location, situations and atmosphere are totally unique. The lava tubes are well worth a visit.

This vid from 2011 shows routes in the lava tubes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjyhvopeYDg 0:48 onwards shows Gente Centre L1 and Gente Rail Traverse. 3:06 onwards shows Cumplidos descent (inland) side of the arch. Search on youtube for "puerta falsa lanzarote" and vids from 2007 (such as this one with Me Hizo Sudar and La Calentona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHJUtQaqzGc ) will show several of the routes there.

Its best to climbing in the lava tubes in the afternoon as the holds can sometimes be wet with condensation in the morning. Look at the crag photos to match the route descriptions to their locations. (Be sure to click on "View all Photos")
