Port de Soller – Adventures in Blob land
Easter Sunday arrived and the Easter Bunny had managed to find his way to our villa 🙂 Before chocolate saturation could set in we headed for Port de Soller, a […]

S’Estret
Another toasty day and another search for a shady crag – this time with the added complication of needing a spread of grades to cater for Leah’s first day climbing […]
Penyal d’es Grau
Another shady crag, and handily near the road, this is a new addition in the latest Rockfax. Notably less polished than Garrafa and much less busy – just us and […]
Puig de Garrafa – Welcome to Mallorca
We hadn’t visited Mallorca for 7 (me) and 15 (Helen) years, and there has been a lot of development since, so this visit is a chance to check out some […]
Etxauri recce and San Fausto saves the day
Etxauri IS the premier crag in Navarra, and we’d saved it for a fitting finale as our last day’s cragging on this trip. Imagine our disappointment as we woke to […]
Penartea – heading into Navarra
There’s a lot of rock in Navarra, just like the rest of Spain, and a fair bit of climbing concentrated around Pamplona. We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather […]
Morata de Jalon – Las Torcas
Our trip has come almost full circle. We stopped off at Morata de Jalon for a few routes on our first day off the ferry on the way down. This […]
Jaraba
Jaraba-Daba-Do! …as Fred Flintstone would say. This crag was recommended to us by a couple from Zaragoza who we met at the Moraira sea cliffs, and gets 5 crabs in […]
Torralba – a rest day recce
Using a damp forecast for a much needed rest day, we headed north into Aragon and Zaragoza province, with a slight detour to check out Torralba. Trusting to GPS we […]
Araya – what a find!
We stumbled upon this fabulous crag thanks to a posting on the UKC logbook, and the incredibly useful Elev-arte.com website, and what a gem! Hidden away up a 2km dirt […]
Back to the Dragon’s LabyrinthÂ
With a warm day in prospect, the combination of early sun then shade on El Labarinto de los Dragones looked like a good bet, and Chris and Justin were keen […]
Montanejos – Laberinto de Los DragonesÂ
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 […]
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 […]
JericaÂ
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 […]
