Since heading down to the Costa Blanca ten days ago we’ve enjoyed pretty much unbroken sunshine, with temperatures gradually rising from low teens to a preposterous 24C yesterday. Happily this […]

We’d been to this crag near Orihuella about 10 years ago, and I’d come away with a lasting memory of an excellent 6c+ up an orange corner, and a feeling […]
This one is in Rockfax! After yesterday’s tough day’s pulling a bit further along the hillside, we decided on a multi pitch adventure as a semi rest day. What better […]
We checked out this relatively recently developed sector, and came away really impressed. A great mix of climbing across the grades, routes all clearly labelled at the bottom, on immaculate […]
We’d been to a couple of sectors at Bellus and found them a mixed bag – interesting shapes and pockety rock but with unfortunate levels of polish and occasionally bizarre […]
Teaming up with Keefe and Tansy we had been warned to dress up warmly for a trip to Sector Wild Side at Sella. The crunch of ice as we drove […]
We’ve been visiting Calpe for almost 25 years, and whilst it was already well beyond a fishing village when we first visited, the extent of further development continues to surprise. […]
After we survived another sat nav inspired mystery tour we arrived at a great campsite in the Valle de Laguar. Views over olive groves down to the sea. Also handy […]
Monday started wet, so time to mosy on further south via Chulilla. Campervan central seems to have been established in the main parking area, with a team of Czech climbers […]
Wandering into town from the free campervan parking area, past the thermal swimming pools, it was clear that something was afoot. 17th January was evidently a special day, with heaps […]
Arriving at the first campsite over the border, just north of Jaca we settled into the bar for beer and arroz al pulpo y bacalou (octopus and cod). The TV […]
After a month of catching up with friends and family, eating too much and enjoying the comforts of home, we’re back on the road! Only just though – we were […]
The forecasters got it wrong – woohoo! Despite an inch of rain and a big lightning storm overnight, Tuesday (our departure date) dawned sunny but cold. Last-day enthusiasm (desperation at […]
The weather and Jake’s ambition finally coincided to deliver a sunny day’s climbing, with the zip-offs being brought into action for the first time 🙂 The lower tier at Geyikbayri […]
There’s enough climbing at Geyikbayri for a few months, but we fancied a change of scene so what better than a trip to the seaside? Olympos is a small seaside […]
After a couple of days of rain it’s dried up 🙂 Rather than the focus being on finding routes in sheltered caves, the struggle has been finding routes that aren’t […]
We found ourselves at Kezban’s for a New Year’s Eve celebration. Great buffet of Turkish salada and dips followed by soup and a main course of lamb and rice. All […]
