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. 

185m, 7 pitches. Super chilled, super fun! As you head up towards the staircase of the Arab Steps, the route is up on a ledge, and has a plastic name card bolted at the first pitch.
1) 4+, 30m.
2) 5+, 30m.
3) 4, 20m.
4) 5, 30m.
5) 6a, 30m.
6) 5, 25m.
7) 4, 20m.
Abseil off 35m. Beware loose looking blocks. Ab station just behind last belay. Walk downhill towards Arab Steps and join paths.

Bolted by Manuel RodrIguez, Isaac Ord??ez, Andr?s Hermosin. Dec/2018.

βeta: The abseil is more like 35m, so at least a 70m rope is advised.
