San Gabriel is a granite cliff of up to 400m, pretty unspectacular when seen from below. Getting closer a white granite appears with a large number of cracks. Unfortunately the wall is interrupted by many terraces with loose rocks. The classic climb is Colombianos, a ten pitch crack climb, which on its easiest line is rated 5.9. Several wide-crack variants allow the difficulty be raised significantly. A state-of-the-art 5.11a crack offers El Jote in its 4th pitch. Most routes can be recommended. They are much better than it looks like. Some more climbs (i.e. Historia sin fin) are found down in the canyon to the left of the main rocks (looking up), just above the village. |
