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 […]
GuadalestÂ
After a week of mostly new crags (for us), we revisited an old favourite, in the company of Keith and Fiona (and Scamp!). Guadalest seemed like a good bet to […]
Sombre de LeonÂ
After a much needed rest day, we’re back in action. It’s sunny but there’s a cold northerly blowing – perfect for a visit to this new (to us) crag on […]
Bovedon and Bovedin
We teamed up with Keefe and Tansie, Justin and Chris and Keith and Fiona for a two crag day. I drew the short straw and climbed on the unrelenting steepness […]
Sella – sector Bear and DoggyÂ
We first visited Sella almost 30 years ago, when it had only just come to the attention of the climbing world through an article in Desnivel. A wilderness experience of […]
Cumbre d’el Sol
A late start and a breezy day, so we went for a look at these sea cliff routes. We’d visited a few years ago for the classic 6 pitch route […]
Pego 2
One of the recent crags we found out about (thanks Ted! ) is near the village of Atzuvia, just beyond Pego. A bit of Internet trawling to supplement the camera […]
ToixÂ
With our imminent arrival in Calpe we have a morning ring round of campsites, with growing concern as the first two ‘have some space starting in early March’… Fortunately, we’re […]
Sella Wildside – a YECTOYDÂ
More big rain on Sunday, and everything is soaking. Wildside at Sella looked like the best option. …but it was all properly wet. Jake managed the crag sandbag warmup 6c+ […]
Mucha, mucha lluvia
With a couple of inches of rain having fallen overnight, we woke up to driving rain and a forecast of another three inches during the day! However, a lull around […]
Chulilla – Oasis
Friday was forecast for showers – building to torrential downpours overnight and throughout the weekend. The view from “Probably the best toilet in the world”was a pale imitation of the […]
Chulilla – Sex Shop
No, not a dodgy pre-Xmas pressie buying trip – but the name of a sector in the gorge behind the rifugio. Overcast, but dry, the conditions were great for climbing […]
