Restricted Access

The area is a nature reserve and access to the crags on Frontales and Escalera Arabe is sensitive. You may see people driving up the track from the water tank, but it is not allowed and you could well be fined. It only adds around 15 minutes to the walk in. The whole El Navegador sector remains banned to climbing due to rare flora with the exception of the lefthand-most route. There are 2 signposts in front of the cliff and a wire fence to mark the restricted area but these have been pulled down by climbers. 

34m.

The right-hand line is a pleasant climb. Can be extended to join El pilarito to finish on the summit of the pinnacle. © Rockfax

βeta: The route is great to the first anchor! Would avoid the extension to the pinnacle as there is a loose bolt at the anchor (plus the cleaning is not worth it - unless you like rope drag, big swings and potentially getting your rope stuck in a tree)
