There are four official climbing rocks on this section of the route, which are also beautiful to look at without you climbing.
But be careful and careful in the event that you want to become a spontaneous climber: you probably need a permit and there have already been deaths on this very rock.

Along the way there are several imposing sandstone formations, some of which are as high as a house and are used as climbing areas, which can be easily recognized by the white magnesium powder stains and the embedded hooks.
