Rattler Cliff Routes 1 / 8
  • Climb the first 4 bolts of Journey To Ixtlan, at the rail just above 4th bolt branch left for 4 more bolts of easier climbing. Mondragon, D'Antonio FA.
  • Left of the obvious splitter crack in the back of the draw. A couple moves through poor rock brings you to 60' of good holds, great rock and fun climbing with the crux near to top. 6 bolts
  • This is an iconic SLV splitter. The crack splits the middle of the namesake rattler formation at the head of the canyon. 2 bolt anchor high up on the right. One of the best cracks in the SLV!
  • ...probably not. dirty bulges up to the clean panel to the right of journey to ixtlan. 8 bolts
