Construcción y colapso del Nudo CEM en un arco de roca / “El anclaje recuperable Mexicano”

En esta ocasión visitamos el cañón de El Zarco en Zapopan, Jalisco. Un cañón que presenta al inicio formaciones de roca muy peculiares, en especial nos llamó la atención una zona que no presenta gran desnivel pero tiene arcos de roca perfectamente pulidos por el paso del agua. Un escenario propicio para instalar un anclaje natural y en este caso el Nudo CEM ya que el punto de anclaje (Arco de roca) se encontraba a una distancia de 2 metros de la vertical a descender.

The CEM (for Cañonismo En Mexico) is a releasable knot, similar in function to the macrame. It can be used around natural anchors, especially trees, when insufficient webbing is available.
