Start at the tip of South America and climb the left edge of the continent to finish up an easy crack.

Rating: 1
Start as for West Coast. Climb into the niche, then move up right and follow a thin crack in the centre of the face. A long reach gains a good break and good holds lead directly to the top.

An alternative finish to San Antonio. From the top of the initial crack, reach right for a jug, then layback up the arête above.

Start as for West Coast and climb the right-slanting crack to the first break, then continue up the centre of the `continent` above.

A great little climb both technical and strenuous. Start just left of the obvious vertical crack three metres right of the tip of South America. Climb the thin, left-trending crack to gain good footholds, then finish up the overhanging flake on good holds.

Very sustained and fine in the lower half. Start at the foot of the very thin vertical crack immediately right of Belize. Climb this crack by an awkward layback from the right. The steep corner above is easier than it looks.

An interesting problem up the centre of the smooth wall between Sandinista and San Miguel.

Start three metres to the right at the foot of another thin vertical crack. Climb this crack, moving left to a good flake on the underside of the bulge. Climb directly over the bulge and finish direct.

One metre to the right of San Miguel a faint vertical crack leads to the obvious V-corner above. Climb the crack to the horizontal break and finish up the very steep corner above.
Grade: 5b/c | First Ascent: -2000

Climb the wall between San Antonia and Pablo to the break. Follow the hanging flake crack above to a last pull onto the easy slab.

Climb the wide crack in the steep corner to a jammed block. Pull over the bulge rightwards and finish on excellent sculpted holds.

The flaky crack two metres farther to the right.
