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.

βeta: The base has a X scratched on the wall and Spin Bolt scratched on the left. Another group climbed it but we didn't. They didn't seem to have any issues though. There are new anchors higher and left than shown in the Rockfax Topo. There is also a new route between this and the 4c to the right. It goes direct up the slab, over the right hand end of the large horizontal crack and finishes at the same anchors of the 4c. It's probably 5a. | βeta? | |
