El Gavilán

Rising out of the arid Mexican Desert lies a 900 ft ships prow of elegant limestone sporting a 9-pitch 5.13 established in the 90s by Jeff Jackson. A cutting-edge big wall free climb at the time, this route shut down hard men for years. Shrouded in mysticism, the bolts rusted and the holds collected dust until a couple young gals from Canada decided to give it a try.
