Mosquitos is a rather stretched out crag close to town with quite a few very nice routes on mostly high quality (in some parts excellent) rock. You can find all different styles of climbing and different sized blocks, reaching from 1,5m lowballs to stunnig 10m highballs. There's also some open projects in the 7A to 7C range waiting for you to grab the first ascent.
The crag's main orientation is southwest and there are basically no trees, so it's pretty much sunny all day. However, depending on time of year and day, you can find some shady routes on east or west facing walls at blocks like Gymnastium, Birdy, Exzellenzoffensive, Nartex and Climbing Stuff (morning shade) or Spalt N, StadtViertelBlock, Caja de tarta, Prio 3000 and Windblocker (afternoon shade). The crag is exposed to the wind and due to it's elevation it might be a good choice when foggy. Being there with children should be fine (especially in the old center from Nartex to Reina de corazones) but some of the new blocks are located on steep slopes. The landings are generally nice and flat though.
Access by car is good, except for the last 150m to Sauron parking, which has some (very) bad spots. From the various parkings you can reach the corresponding blocks within a maximum of 10 min walk on mostly easy terrain.
⚠️ Please remember: No climbing after rain, wet sandstone is very fragile even if the surface looks dry. Brush off excess chalk and tickmarks, too much chalk will make the holds slippery forever. Don't cross fields, don't make fires, don't leave any rubbish and please bury your feces.
Do have fun!
