Some of the good rock-climbing spots are natural rock walls in Forum, or Cañón del Río Uruca, located behind Forum 1, Santa Ana; Aserrí Rock, in the city of Aserrí, south of San Jose; Cerro de la Muerte; Pico Blanco, in Escazú; Providencia, in Santa María de Dota; Atenas, in Alajuela; and Escalada Cachí, in Cartago. There are also artificial walls at some training gyms around the country.
