As
the spring season heated up, climbers head south in search of new destinations
to build their strength and stamina. One rising destination in the Southern
Hemisphere is the La Mojarra climbing area on the Mesa de los Santos next to
the Chicamocha Canyon National Park in Columbia. Known for bullet-hard red
sandstone, overhanging sport routes and surreal climbing above a picturesque
valley, the zone has started drawing international climbers due to its growing
reputation.
Climbers Mason Earle and Katie Lambert journeyed to the area, staying at the climber epicenter of Refugio La Roca and tested their spring skills by sampling the hardest routes in La Mojarra’s 5.8 to 5.14a range. On down days, the team experienced the cultural travel aspects of a spot featuring stunning National Park vistas, thriving farmer’s markets and some of the best coffee in the world.
What an inspiring location this is!
See you all in Colombia,
Radclimbers
