Guincho

Bolts condition No bolts on the routes except for some recent additions in 2024: M12 bolts with rings were installed as lower-off anchors on Via Diagonal and Via do Canto / Escoteiros. For Via da Lagoa dos Ouriços and Via dos Tectos, bring large slings (minimum 3 meters) to wrap around natural features at the top of the wall for your anchors. Route height 20-50 m aprox. Restrictions No restrictions. Other comments Despite the low grades, these routes should not be underestimated in terms of difficulty. The rock is very chossy, and protection with cams and nuts is scarce, spaced far apart, demanding a high level of skill. A hammer and pegs may offer some additional protection options, though the rock quality remains poor. Because of these factors, the sense of exposure on this cliff is significant. No topo has ever been created for this sector. Some information about the routes and their names was provided by Rogério Morais and Paulo Alves. Paulo Alves’s personal climbing journal includes records of some ascents, often with vague descriptions of the lines climbed. It’s possible that the more obvious routes were established even before the dates mentioned.
