Winter rock climbing on Cayman Brac

JeffHucksterFrom Climbing Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is an amazing winter rock climbing location. High quality sport climbing routes on gently overhanging limestone on a small, unspoiled tropical island in the Caribbean Sea.

There are five sectors of “normal” sport climbing where you start at the bottom of the climb, but at two sectors the routes are directly over the sea and require rappel access, providing true adventure climbing.
