During these last days I've been visiting Ayagaures with the purpose of sending onsight. Is lucky to have such a good rock like this one where things are just where they are and you don't have to think much about what to choose to grab. Braveness is just what is needed to go for them, never the less, you need to do things right too, that is the other part of the game.
In my first visit of the week, I went there with my friend Lolo, and the day went cool. Both of us made the proyect of the day, Kus Kus 7a+, we redpointed it, and for me it was on the 'second go'. Nice route by the way. Then we folded other proyects in mind and started pointing out onsight ones. We prefered to eliminated more routes on this sector. A 6c OnSight for the two, two 7a's OnSight for Lolo( Petisuis, and Yoghourt quickdrawing), and Petisuis 7a OnSight for me quickdrawing.
The OnSight attemps haven't finished yet, and this weekend, on Sunday, some friends and I went camping and before the day finished, we stopped in this incredible Crag to climb a bit. Nobody was there climbing except us, and we were almost 10 people and all of us climbed a route. We moved on to the upper sector of the crag where we climbed some 6a/6a+ routes, but there were also hard routes to do. Siriaco sent El Salto del Ángel 7a at the first try( onsight or flash, he should know). I just repeated it after him and moved on to the next one. Siriaco attempted Kus Kus 7a+, but the onsight didn't appear. He should of have tried a flash, as i suggested him, but he did not wanted to. What I did was just to repeat it, as I have already redpointed it some days ago.
Ayagaures is a Crag that is located in the southern part of Gran Canaria and is really INCREDIBLE. It is 'basalto' black smooth rock, with routes of about 25 meters high, but you can find 15 meter routes in the upper sectors. Levels start from 6a and move on up to 8a+, where you con also find some proyects. There is still work to do there : ). Not many climbers go there, I suppose because there are also some other crags that are more attractive in their own way. Maybe some because they are closer and others because they are prettier, but this crag isn't that close, but isn't that bad at all. What this one really has, are routes that you won't find in any other place. Ayagaures must be visited.
