Leonidio Grand Cuckoo
A beautiful wall of grey limestone, with a handful of excellent mid grade routes. The rock is very solid, and the protection very good. Not much shade from the sun on hot days. Route names are mostly written at the bottom of the climbs.

A few hundred metres further on there is space for a couple of cars on the right hand side of the road, next to a sign to the crag. About 5km from Leonidio. Follow the cairns and red markings to the crag. About 10 minutes.
