LOS TRES MOAIS

Recently discovered cliff. It consists of three boulders, fallen down from above and lined up perfectly one behind the other, looking down the valley. The rock is basically solid and looks good at first sight, but its surface needs good cleaning. The 16.06.01 five routes until 5.11 have been put up by A.Zegers and M.Waldhör. Overhanging faces promise hard climbs.
