VIDEO: A Legendary 5.13 In Mexico Gets Revisited

Rising out of the arid Mexican desert lies a 900-foot ship's prow of elegant limestone sporting a nine-pitch 5.13 established in the 90s by Jeff Jackson. This route shut down repeat attempts for years. Shrouded in mysticism, the bolts rusted, and the holds collected dust until a couple of young gals from Canada decided to give it a try. Check out the trailer for El Gavilán for a story of adventure, perseverance, and climbing a very special route.
