53 routes · 6c+
Paute, in Azuay, is a major sport climbing crag with 54 routes on volcanic rock, ranging from V to 7b, with a strong focus on 6th grade. The climbing is varied, offering overhangs, slabs, and cracks that test strength, endurance, and technique. The east-facing walls provide sun until midday and shade in the afternoon. Sunscreen is recommended as there's no natural shelter. Climbing is possible year-round due to the local climate. The belay areas are comfortable but narrow and close to the slope, making them less suitable for small children. The approach to all sectors is about 25 minutes.
