La Crazy stakes its claim on the western flank of El Reliz, offering a concentrated burst of sport climbing energy just north of Sonora, Mexico. This single-pitch route demands attentive footwork and steady hands from the outset, with solid holds welcoming your first moves. As you ascend, the terrain tightens: the initially confident hand and footholds start to feel less forgiving, drawing your focus deeper into the climb. The route’s defining moment arrives after you clear a distinct dihedral marked by a subtle crack. Here, between the fourth and fifth bolts, the crux tests your precision and composure—small edges challenge your balance as you push upward with measured force. Sharing the final bolt and anchor with the neighboring Kamikaze route, La Crazy finishes with a satisfying clip and a secure belay stance.

Spatially, the rock reflects Sonora’s sun-soaked climate, its rugged texture providing reliable friction that encourages bold foot placements. The climb’s exposure allows afternoon light to caress the face, casting sharp shadows that help identify holds and nuance the shifting grip quality. While short, the route’s compact intensity leaves a lasting impression—perfect for climbers who appreciate efficient, purposeful ascents.

Preparation is straightforward: six bolts and a well-established anchor mean you only need to bring a standard sport rack and quickdraws to safely manage protection. The approach is accessible via established trails winding through semi-arid vegetation typical of northern Mexico’s highlands. A light breeze often invites a moment of calm before the physical engagement begins, encouraging climbers to hydrate properly and ready their focus for the climb’s measured challenges.

Whether you’re smoothing out your 5.9 technique or seeking an approachable but rewarding climb amid Sonora’s climbing venues, La Crazy balances inviting holds with a ketched crux. Its concentrated effort demands respect but promises a climb that’s as engaging as it is achievable. Plan your timing to avoid the heat of midday sun, and savor the dry warmth that only this part of the canyon can provide. This route exemplifies climbing where terrain and environment converse directly with every move.
