How do you feel about crack climbing at the 'Indian Creek' of Mexico? Las Cascadas de la Concepción will never disappoint!
Climb RHYOLITE splitters in a beautiful river valley in the shadow of the magnificent Peña de Ñadó
Cascadas de la Concepción is one of the the many cascadas located in around the vicinity of Aculco de la Espinoza. This exquisite rhyolite waterfall and cliff that parallels the beautiful Río Ñadó is a gorgeous location to spend the day. The cliffs we climb line both sides of the river as it winds its way through the countryside to eventually feed into La Presa Tepozan. Rhyolite is a term derived from rhyolit; classical greek rhyax, or stream of lava. The rhyolite lining this river valley has a large collection of the greatest crack climbs in Mexico (and possibly the entire northern continent). What really makes the climbing special in this oaken valley is the texture of this particular stone. The rock is hard, but very smooth on the skin. La Concepción is truly a paradise for the fine crack connoisseur. It is perfect Mexican crack climbing that has astounded climbers from all around the world.
