Doubtful legality: read this before you go
Según un blog de 2020, la escalada se prohibió a comienzos de 2019 tras la caída de una roca y se colocó un cartel de "Prohibido escalar". No se encontró la resolución ni una habilitación posterior. Confirmá con la Intendencia de Montevideo antes de escalar.
