Despachadora de Gomitas offers a focused introduction to the steely granite faces of El Potrero Chico, combining smooth slab moves with a technical finale that rewards precision and body control. Its single pitch climbs approximately 95 feet, starting with an approachable slab that eases tension and sets you up for the crux ahead. Positioned on the Outrage Wall, this route tempts climbers with a straightforward bolt line that gradually leads into a slightly overhanging section where big holds keep momentum steady without blowing the grade out of reach. Although rated at 5.11a, the holds’ generosity and solid rock quality provide a balanced encounter that doesn’t punish but challenges your technique.

The wall itself watches over Northern Mexico’s rugged canyons, its rock texture cool to the touch in shaded moments and glowing warmly under the afternoon sun. The climb’s rightward trend toward shared anchors with the neighboring route Eternal Fatalist adds a subtle tactical element—offering options for descent or extension—while a rarely accessed upper anchor hints at further challenges if you’re seeking more exposure.

Approaching El Potrero Chico’s Outrage Wall is an adventure in its own right. The trail is firm and well-marked, threading through scrubby desert flora, the sun casting sharp shadows on your path as the wind shifts in the canyon below. Expected hiking time to the base hovers around 15–20 minutes from the main parking area, allowing you to arrive warmed up and mentally dialed in. Wearing grippy shoes and bringing sufficient hydration is crucial; even on overcast days, the dry air and elevation silently sap energy.

Protection on Despachadora de Gomitas is straightforward—nine fixed bolts lead reliably to two well-placed anchors. This setup encourages focus on movement and footwork without the stress of uncertain placements. While the rock quality is consistently solid, vigilance is necessary near the crux as the slight overhang demands precise positioning and controlled breathing.

Whether you’re using it as a warm-up or targeting the grade, this climb suits those who appreciate routes that blend flow with moments of tension. The Outrage Wall area rewards those prepared for desert conditions and shifting light, promising a satisfying vertical dance with a view that stretches beyond the cliff’s limits.

If you come during the cooler months or early morning, the wall’s east-facing aspect means pleasant shade before the sun pushes the heat into the canyon by afternoon. Ending your climb here allows for a smooth walk-off or easy rappel, perfect for layering climbs and enjoying the eclectic energy El Potrero Chico offers.
