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.

The corner is magnificent when dry, with a short hard section near the top. © Rockfax

βeta: My 30m rope has 30% stretch and with a stopper knot that had an arms length tail, I just barely made it to the ground. That includes my belayer going as far up the corner as he can walk. The route is indeed ~33m. Great climb. | βeta? | |
