Ngati mumakonda zachilengedwe, simungaphonye njira zomwe zingakuthandizeni kuti mupeze miyala ya granite yotchedwa "Cerro Blanco" ndi Peñón de Covadonga.
Zochitika zodabwitsa zingapo zidatsogolera pakupezanso kwa granite massif yotchedwa "Cerro Blanco".
Pafupifupi maola awiri ndi theka kuchokera ku Torreón, ndikupita ku mzinda wa Durango komanso pafupi ndi tawuni ya Peñón Blanco, pali phiri lamiyala lomwe anthu amderalo amalitcha "Cerro Blanco". El Peñón, monga anzanga ndi ine tazitchulira tomwe chibadwire chathu, chidapezedwanso chifukwa chazinthu zingapo zofananira. Komabe, tinatsala pang'ono kukhumudwitsidwa ndimayesero awiri osapambana oyandikira phirilo, chifukwa udzu wobiriwira waminga udapangitsa njirayo kukhala yosatheka.
Winawake adalimbikitsa a Octavio Puentes, mbadwa ya Nuevo Covadonga, tawuni yomwe ili pafupi ndi phirili, yemwe amadziwa malowo modabwitsa. Pansi pa chitsogozo chake m'pamene tingapeze njira yomwe ikati itatha ola limodzi itipite popanda vuto kupita kumsasa wapansi ku Piedra Partida.
Njira yomwe Octavio adationetsa imadutsa kamtsinje kangapo kenako ndikukwera mpaka kukafika kuphiri lomwe limagawaniza Thanthwe ndi khoma lomwe, chifukwa cha kutalika kwake kwa 50 mita, timabatiza ngati "khoma lolandiridwa".
Kuchokera m'dera lamapiri, lotchedwa El Banco, malowa amasintha kwambiri, popeza miyala yamitundu yosiyana imatha kuwonedwa, yomangidwa ndikuumbidwa pakapita nthawi, ndimadzi ndi mpweya. Miyala iyi nthawi ina inali kumtunda kwa phirilo, ndipo china chake chinasintha chomwe chinawapangitsa kudzimangirira ndikugubuduzika mpaka atakhala pamalo amenewo. Chokhumudwitsa kwambiri ndikuti kusinthaku, ngakhale kuli pang'onopang'ono, sikunathe, ndipo sitikufuna kukhala omwe adatulutsa mwala umodzi.
Tikupitirirabe kuyenda m'chigwa mpaka titafika ku Piedra Partida, njirayo ndi yosalala komanso ili ndi njira yomwe nthawi zina imabisala muudzu. Piedra Partida imapereka malo abwino kwambiri omangapo msasa paphirili, chifukwa chakuwonekera kwake ili ndi mthunzi wokhazikika womwe umapangitsa kuti ukhale malo abwino othawirako padzuwa losatha komanso kutentha, komwe nthawi yotentha kumadutsa 40 digiri Celsius. Tsambali lilinso ndi mawonekedwe owoneka bwino omwe amakupatsani mwayi wosankha njira yomwe mungatsatire kapena, ngati kuli koyenera, kuti muwone momwe okwera akukwera pamwamba pa mwala umodzi. Chinthu china chodziwikiratu ndichakuti panthawiyo pali ma petroglyphs, omwe chifukwa chofikirika kwa tsambalo adasungidwabe opanda vuto.
Maulendo awiri am'mbuyomu a gulu lamanda ndi Polytechnic, ndikuwonetsa patsamba la intaneti, adationetsa njira zomwe tidakhazikitsa; Komabe, tidaganiza zopanga njira yatsopano yodutsa njira yomwe, itatha zingwe khumi, ikafika pamsonkhano wina wa Cerro Blanco. Kutalika kwa chingwe ndikofanana ndi mita 50, koma panjira iyi, chifukwa cha mawonekedwe amwalawo ndi njira yomwe timatsatira, zimasiyana kuyambira 30 mpaka 50 mita.
Zingwe zitatu zoyambirira zazingwe zinali zosavuta, pafupifupi 5.6-5.8 (zosavuta kwenikweni), kupatula kusuntha kwa 5.10a (pakati pakatikati mpaka kovuta) koyambirira kwa kutalika kwachiwiri. Izi zidatipatsa chidaliro choganiza kuti njira yonse idzakhala yosavuta komanso yachangu: yosavuta, chifukwa timakhulupirira kuti njira yonseyo ipereka digiri yofanana ndi yomwe tidadutsa kale; komanso mwachangu, chifukwa kukhazikitsa chitetezo sikungakhale kofunikira masamba aukadaulo omwe amatenga nthawi yayitali kukhazikitsa. Kuti tithe kukhazikitsa zotetezera mwachangu, tinali ndi chowombera batire chomwe timatha kupanga mabowo pafupifupi makumi atatu ndi mabatire awiri omwe tinali nawo.
Tinali ndi mantha abwino mchipinda chachitali; mukuyenda kwa 5.10b ndidatsetsereka ndikugwa mamita asanu ndi limodzi, kufikira pomwe chitetezo chotsiriza ndidandiyimitsa. Mapu 5 ndi 6 anali osavuta kwathunthu komanso owoneka bwino, ndi mawonekedwe omwe akukupemphani kuti mupitilize kukwera mochulukira; Komabe, zodabwitsazo sizinathe: pomwe tidayamba phula 7 tidazindikira kuti ngakhale kubowola kunali ndi batire lopanga mabowo ambiri, chitetezo chinali chosowa. Chifukwa chakumalima kwa malowa tidapanga lingaliro lopitiliza kuyika zomangira zomwe zingatifikitse patali kwambiri, ndipo poyesayesa mwamphamvu kuti tifikire kutalika konse, adazipanga zopanda zomangira kuposa zomwe zimayikidwa koyambirira ndi kumapeto kwa kutalika kulikonse. Tidangotsala ndi mita 25 kuti tidutse, koma sitinathenso kupitilirabe chifukwa chosowa zomangira, zomwe zinali zofunika m'chigawo chomalizachi, popeza thanthwe ndilowongoka kwathunthu.
Timalinganiza maulendo ena kuti timalize. Msonkhano womwe udafikiridwa udakhala msonkhano wabodza; Komabe, malo omwe malowa amapereka kuchokera pamenepo ndiabwino.
Titha kunena kuti njirayo idakhala yovuta, koma zidatitengera nthawi yayitali kuposa momwe timaganizira, ndi masiku 23 ndipo anthu 15 adafalitsa maulendo opitilira 9. Gawo lomaliza linali motere: kutalika khumi 5.10b, womaliza kukhala wovuta 5.8a (omaliza maphunzirowa akutanthauza kuti tidayenera kudalira chitetezo chomwe tidayika kuti tipite patsogolo).
Cerro Blanco, ngakhale tikuyesetsa kuti tidziwitse, idakali malo osadziwika omwe amapereka mwayi wokwera komanso kukwera mapiri. Mwanjira ina, Cerro Blanco akupitilizabe kukhala wodabwitsidwa ndi granite wopitilira 500 mita kumtunda kwa chipululu, yolumikizidwa kokha ndi njira yobisika, kudikirira okwera mitu, okonzeka kuyipanga ndikugwiritsa ntchito njira zomwe malo kotero zitha kukhala ndipo zikuyenera kukhala nazo.
