"SI NO ESCALAS MONTAÑAS, JAMÁS DISFRUTARÁS DEL PAISAJE".
​
SIGUE ESCALANDO
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”

NUESTRA DONACIÓN
A LA COMUNIDAD DE ESCALADORES
OUR DONATION
TO THE CLIMBING COMMUNITY
El parque de escalada Rocas de la Mojarra (PERM) es una reserva natural y zona de escalada en roca, operada y mantenida por la fundación de escaladores Rocas de la Mojarra (FELM). Tiene aproximadamente 4 hectáreas con un farallón de roca arenisca de igual longitud. Esta localizado en el departamento de Santander en una de las ramificaciones del Cañón Chicamocha a 1.602 msnm en la cordillera oriental. Su vegetación es de bosque seco Sub andino lo cual presenta una gran diversidad faunística propia de la formación vegetal de la zona.
PERM es uno de los destinos para escaladores mas populares de Colombia en la actualidad, con aproximadamente 2.000 visitantes cada año. Debido al flujo de personas visitando el parque de escalada la Fundación FELM requiere importantes recursos para mantener, operar y continuar con las mejoras en curso tales como caminos, forestación, conservación, equipamientos, seguridad (cursos, talleres y charlas), re protección, protección de nuevas vías, pago de arriendos y procesos de adjudicación y compra de predios, capacitaciones con la comunidad y desarrollo turístico.
La fundación FELM es una organización de voluntarios que opera el parque de escalada y contribuye a su desarrollo. FELM se constituyo como Fundación, como una iniciativa de los propietarios para poder donar las instalaciones del parque a una organización sin ánimo de lucro que continúe su labor y manejo en caso de ausencia. Esta organización de voluntarios seguirá proporcionando mano de obra y recaudación de fondos para ayudar a mantener el parque de escalada abierto al público. FELM pretende ofrecer a la comunidad, un parque de escalada protegido no solo para las generaciones del momento sino también para las venideras.
Por el momento PERM tiene un aporte de ingreso o una membresía anual para sus visitadores para de esta forma seguir gestionando proyectos con la comunidad, generando empleo, y mejorando las instalaciones. _ Ricardo Cancelado y Alexandra Leguizamón Fundadores de la FELM dicen: _Esta ha sido nuestra visión desde el inicio, hacer que el parque de escalada Rocas de la Mojarra (PERM) esté a absoluta disposición de la comunidad a perpetuidad, siendo donado a una organización sin ánimo de lucro que siga el funcionamiento del parque en el futuro con un formato ya establecido —.

Agradecemos su visita y contribución a la escalada en Colombia, acceso y conservación.

The Rocas de la Mojarra Climbing Park (PERM) is a natural reserve and rock climbing area, operated and maintained by the Rocas de la Mojarra Climbing Foundation (FELM). It spans approximately 4 hectares with an equally long sandstone cliff. It is located in the department of Santander, in one of the branches of the Chicamocha Canyon, at 1,602 meters above sea level in the Eastern Mountain Range. Its vegetation is classified as Sub-Andean dry forest, which supports a rich variety of fauna characteristic of the area’s plant formation.
​
PERM is one of the most popular climbing destinations in Colombia today, attracting about 2,000 visitors each year. Due to the influx of people visiting the climbing park, the FELM Foundation requires significant resources to maintain, operate, and continue ongoing improvements such as pathways, reforestation, conservation, equipment, safety (courses, workshops, and talks), reforestation, protection of new climbing routes, rent payments, land acquisition processes, community training, and tourism development.
​
The FELM Foundation is a volunteer-based organization that operates the climbing park and contributes to its development. FELM was established as a foundation, initiated by the park's owners, with the goal of donating the park's facilities to a non-profit organization that would continue managing it in case of their absence. This volunteer organization will continue to provide labor and fundraising efforts to help keep the climbing park open to the public. FELM aims to provide the community with a protected climbing park, not only for current generations but also for future ones.
​
Currently, PERM has an income contribution or annual membership for visitors to continue managing community projects, generating employment, and improving the facilities. Ricardo Cancelado and Alexandra Leguizamón, Founders of FELM, say: “This has been our vision from the beginning, to ensure that the Rocas de la Mojarra Climbing Park (PERM) is available for the community in perpetuity, donated to a non-profit organization that will continue the park’s operation in the future with an already established format.”

We thank you for your visit and contribution to climbing in Colombia, access, and conservation.
