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 […]
Monthly Archives: February 2017
Jerica – Sector Huajolotes
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 […]
Montanejos – Caverna Magica and Mazmorras
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
Crag-X
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
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
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
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
‘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
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 […]
Penyon d’Ifach
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 […]
Rucksack Club SunRock Meet – Sella, Costa Blanca
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)
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
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 […]
Redovan – El Rut
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 […]
Mula – sector Abuelo
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 […]
