About Leonidio — Mars
Mars is Leonidio's signature crag and one of the most photographed sport walls in Europe — a huge orange-and-red streaked cave-and-vertical wall on the north side of the town, festooned with tufas, blobs and pockets on reddish limestone. Compact rock that dries within hours of the rare winter shower thanks to the very-low seepage character and the exposure to any drying breeze. Sun until roughly noon then shade. Approach is a short (~15 minute) walk from a signed parking area on the town's ring road. Grades top out around 8c/9a; the mid-6c mega-classics listed here are the entry-level ticklist for anyone visiting. Peak crowds gather here on winter afternoons — get on classics early or expect queues at the anchors.
