This rock climbing tour involves two different levels depending on your experience. Beginner climbs range in difficulty of 5.5 to 5.8, and use a top-rope setup within 50 feet of the ground. With this technique, you will easily be able to receive instruction and can return to the ground at any time. Intermediate climbs go from 5.7 to 5.9 in level of difficulty. Here, you will use a top-belay setup or multi-pitch techniques. Such set-ups require you to know the belaying technique and general climbing knowledge.

5.00We had a good climbing experience and Robert was a good guide! He learned us new knots and helped advancing our climbing techniques. The rock (basalst) was a new rock type for me and was some getting used to. We climbed three and change hours. It was beautiful to climb close to the river. There are routes of different grades from 4 to 8 and multipitch.
Climbing is fantastic

5.00Great place to climb, lots Different routes and very good guidance. There were four of us and had two guides. I am not an experienced climber and was stimulated, without having to go beyond my limits. I have gained more confidence and have had a fantastic experience!

5.00Great experience on the wall of the Madre Roca in Baños, our guide Robert, warm and accessible, showed us different routes (5a, 6a, 6b+,6c) that overlooked the Pastaza River. We went from the store to the wall in a pickup truck. Great equipment.
