Praia do Cavalo

Bolts condition These traditional routes were initially established, ground up, using hand-drilled carbon steel spits, which were later replaced by Rui Rosado and Mário Pires (2006)  with 304 stainless steel bolts (nou suited for marine enviroments). Rui Rosado, with the help of Paulo Santos, return in august 2025 and rebolted all routes with 316L stainless steel (except route #1 - still in bad condition). Route height 20 - 35 m aprox. Restrictions Accordingly to Carta Desporto Natureza PNSC - A maximum of 12 climbers is allowed in this sector.  Other comments Facing north (except for those on the opposite wall), these climbs and boulders are ideal for hot days with low humidity. Be mindful of the tides, as during high tide the sea can sometimes reach the base of the wall. The height of the boulders can vary seasonally—the sea may deposit or wash away sand, turning a sit start into a stand start or vice versa. Around 2020 -22 a group of highliners rigged some lines on this beach. A line of bolts near routes #2 and #8 was placed to set up the anchors for the highlines (some of these bolts (M12) are missing the hangers, (removed by the highliners).
