Extasis Total Sport Climb at Los Dinamos, Mexico

Extasis Total offers a compelling two-pitch sport climb that challenges climbers with technical moves set against the rugged cliffs of Los Dinamos, just outside Mexico City. The route kicks off with a well-bolted first pitch featuring 13 bolts that navigate a series of precise 5.10c moves, demanding both focus and fluid technique on vertical terrain. As your muscles settle into rhythm, the second pitch ramps up the intensity with 5.10d crux sequences that test your ability to maintain composure while tackling steeper, more sustained climbing.

This climb is situated within the Los Dinamos park area, a green space vibrant with native pines and rocky outcrops that frame panoramic views of the sprawling valley below. The singing breeze and rustling leaves create a lively backdrop, reminding you that nature remains an active partner in every ascent. The rock itself is solid and offers plenty of textured edges and pockets, ideal for sport climbing protection and confident foot placements.

Access to Extasis Total is straightforward, with a moderate approach through a well-trod trail that keeps you grounded yet alert as the forest opens onto granite faces. Climbers should allocate around 20 to 30 minutes to reach the base from the nearest parking areas, with GPS coordinates marking the spot precisely at 19.28743 latitude and -99.27431 longitude. Given the route’s exposure and sport gear configuration, a standard 70-meter rope suffices for full rappels or lowering from the bolt anchors.

Gear-wise, Extasis Total is a bolt-protected route, eliminating the need for trad gear and allowing climbers to focus on movement rather than placements. Still, bringing a light rack of quickdraws and a sturdy helmet is essential for safety. Because the route contains a consistent bolt line, the protection quality is reliable, though climbers should always assess conditions and clip carefully near the crux moves.

Timely planning is crucial — early morning or late afternoon ascents are recommended to avoid the midday sun, as the cliff faces primarily east and can heat up rapidly. The cooler hours also enhance grip and allow for more comfortable climbing, especially during Mexico City's warm seasons. Weather conditions tend to be stable, but sudden showers could make the rock slippery; checking forecasts before starting is wise.

For descent, the route can be abseiled directly from the two-bolt anchors at the top of each pitch. Adequate rope length and rappel experience are necessary to navigate the rappels safely. Alternatively, downclimbing is possible but not advised due to the vertical nature of the rock and the lack of secure footholds.

Whether you're sharpening technical sport climbing skills or seeking a tricky multi-pitch challenge near Mexico City, Extasis Total delivers a balanced blend of exposure, movement variety, and natural beauty. The climb demands respect but rewards with a clear sense of accomplishment and the refreshing energy of the forested surroundings.

Climber Safety

Rappels rely on two-bolt anchors that must be inspected before use. The route’s exposure increases on the second pitch, so careful clipping and helmet use are important given occasional loose rock near the base. Approach trail can be slick after rain.
