Hi,
Heading to Colombia and Peru come the 1st August. From all reports Suesca, Colombia is the best place to go and from my research it looked like Hatun Machay near Huarez in Peru was the go. Well it looks like there is lots of trouble happening in Hatun Machay when it comes to climbing there now, so advice from those promoting climbing there is to give it a miss. So where else in Peru has a good range of decent climbs? Sportclimbing 6a up to about 7a with a decent selection of 6a and 6a+
If anyone in Melbourne/Victoria has guidebooks to these countries/areas, would be great if I could get the opportunity to have a peruse.
Cheers

About 8 hours north of Bogota is a cool sport climbing area called Mesa de los santos, approx 50km outside Bucaramanger. I'd certainly recommend it as a climbing destination and just overall cool remote area to hang out. There is a variety of stuff starting from 6a through to 7/8+
We stayed at a hostel Hostal Sol de La Mojarra which was fantastic. Not deluxe 5 star but comfy and basic. Its a 30-40min walk up to the crag from here each day. They were very helpful in giving us directions on how to get there via buses and taxis.
Have fun!
