February 28, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

February 27, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

February 26, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Jerica 

February 25, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Bovedos – or more like Bovedoesn’t

February 23, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Vallada

February 22, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

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, […]

Tallat Roig

February 21, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Penya Roca and the end of SunRock 2017

February 18, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

Crag-X

February 17, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

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 […]

SunRock the cartoon strip

February 17, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

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 […]

Alcalali

February 16, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Adsubia / L’Adzuvia

February 15, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

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 […]

Bolulla Raco Roig

February 14, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

‘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, […]

Redovan – El Rut

February 13, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

Penyon d’Ifach

February 12, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

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 […]

February 11, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

El Purgoso, (Totana)

February 9, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

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 […]

Leyva

February 8, 2017by Dominic 2 Comments

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 […]

February 7, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment
