Latest news: as this area relatively new - climbing commenced in the last quarter of 2019 - please keep in mind that you may encounter the odd bit of loose rock. If you encounter pieces that are too big too remove safely (or that will damage bolts when pushed out), please make me aware of this using the e-mail address below and I will take care of it. Thank you!

Click here for Dutch version It has been longer than I had hoped. About time for an update! The last time I wrote to you, I had just bolted 1 route on the Caracasbaai island, near Fort Beekenburg: Unchained! The development of that area for rock climbing is the reason I'm writing now, but it will have to wait until the end. First, we have to catch up. In the summer of 2018 we did a one-week cruise in the region: Bonaire, Aruba, Panama City and Cartagena in Colombia. Such a cruise is quite passive and you are only briefly in one location; still, I thought it was a good way to see something of the region in a short time. Moreover, a cruise was on my 'bucket list'.

Let me tell you a little bit about the two areas that have been prepared by Accion Directa, a team of foreign climbers, who started to bolt climbs here last year. The number of routes is still small, but well-spread grade-wise (French 4 to 8) and rapidly growing. First of all, there is Piscadera. On the way from the airport to Piscadera and Otrabanda, this is hard to miss. It’s at the hill to the left of
