Guincho

The shale slabs of Cinzentos were among the first cliffs explored in the early 1980s. Nowadays an abandoned climbing site, in the early 80's this was a playground for the climbers of the region. The slabs were used on some of the first climbing course done at that time, as depicted on some old photos. Lead climbing while placing pitons, top rope, abseil, etc were all manouvers thought on this walls to newcomers. However, due to the poor quality of the rock, the climbing area was eventually abandoned and now sees very few visits from climbers.
