El Chorro cables in a dangerous condition

El Camino del Rey, El Chorro

Local activist, Antonio Lozano has posted this picture on his facebook page, taken on 10th March. Although some locals have been replacing cables on an "as and when basis" there is still no news from the local authorities in Andalucia who have allocated monies in their budget to re-equip El Camino del Rey. For the moment, don't rely on the fixed equipment and ensure that you are properly roped up and belayed.

Please don't treat this fantastic route as an equipped via feratta and ensure you have the necessary rope skills to be safe.
