Montanejos – Laberinto de Los Dragones
We spotted this awesome piece of rock just across the gorge when we were climbing at Mazmorras. Checking our guide there looked to be half a dozen routes at the […]

We’ve caught up with Justin and Chris again (or rather they’ve caught us up having nipped home for a couple of weeks) and we decided to embrace the sunshine on […]
With a lovely sunny day in prospect we decided to check out some of the climbing on the road out of Montanejos towards Montan. Caverna Magical is in a very pretty […]
We woke to the sound of rain on the van roof on Friday – nature’s way of telling you to take a rest day. It was time for a change […]
Further along the hillside from Bovedon lives it’s little brother Bovedos. Just a couple of dozen routes, but a very impressive chunk of upside-down land. We met up with Keefe […]
This one has been on our radar for a couple of years, but a bit of a trek to access from Calpe. Finally managed to visit and it didn’t disappoint, […]
We’ve based ourselves by the seaside, a little north of Gandia – not the most inspiring campsite, but easy reach of the Gandia crags as well as Tallat Roig. The […]
After another great week of great company, fine dining, decent weather and the occasional climb it was time to say farewell to the 2017 sunrockers. The team disappeared at intervals […]
After almost 30 years of climbing on the Costa Blanca, any news of a new crag is worth exploring. Many of these ventures end up in disappointment, with numerous u-turns […]
Rather than a blog, Jim has been keeping his record of the trip in scribble form in a notebook, including some brilliant cartoons. I’d do the same if only I […]
Plans for a big team gathering at Alcalali (loads of quality routes, good spread of grades and near the road) were somewhat derailed by light drizzle. The meet reconvened at […]
Helen and I had visited this ‘off the beaten track’ crag a few weeks ago – with only a dozen routes, it wouldn’t have suited the whole team, but with […]
‘At 2,000ft this crag is a great option for a hot day’ – so said UKC, and with a scorchio forecast we headed for a look. What a gorgeous spot, […]
With a forecast for possible showers near Finestrat, we assembled a team to head south to Redovan. Sure enough, a fine dose of sunshine was served up and the crag […]
The weather perked up, and so did the spirits. Teams set off for all points of the climbing compass, with Helen leading the biggest party to Murla, a few car-loads […]
We’re staying at Finepark, a collection of bungalows near Finestrat. With views up to the Puig Campana, looming above, its hard to believe we’re only a few km from the […]
We decided on a ‘lucky dip’ crag, selected from Donde Escalar. El Purgoso was just 40 minutes away, a sun-trap, with a good mix of grades and a 4 carabiner […]
Gorgeous blue skies today, but VERY windy. We were fed up with driving (Redovan and Mula are both about an hour away) so decided on Leyva which is just over […]
This had been one of the major discoveries of our trip a couple of years ago, and we thought it was still pretty much ‘off the radar’ , so were […]
We’ve left Andalucia and are on our way back to the Costa Blanca, via a stop over in Murcia, and a few days in the Sierra Espuna at one of […]
