A big jolly team assembled at Echo 1.5 to enjoy the sunshine. Tucked in behind the Ponoch, the Echo crags enjoy stupendous views out over Pollop and onto Benidorm. At […]

A quick check of the forecast suggested heading south for the sun. Sure enough, it was cracking the flags at Sella.

Extended to 2 weeks to meet demand, the 2015 SunRock meet has arrived in Javea. A Swanky Villa – swankier now the heating is working, combined with great cooking, vast […]

Pinos is a smallish crag with a number of handy attributes. South facing, sunny, sheltered and 2 mins from the road. With rain forecast inland and to the north, an […]

Cracking the flags so headed for Gandia, but chose sector TopDeckio as somewhere we hadn’t been before. Good decision with a cooling breeze and unpolished rock, away from the crowds. […]

An inauspicious damp day at Alcalali wasn’t the ideal way to kick off the 2015 sunrock trip, but weary arrivals made it to the crag after 4am starts and at […]

A chilly but bright day could perhaps have been better spent resting – at least if the twinges in both our elbows are anything to go by!

Not the greatest crag in the world, but set in a gorgeous and remote feeling valley, font d’axia is well worth a visit. There’s even a topo on a sign […]

Mula lies just to the north of the Serra d’Espuna. Sector Ferrari, overlooking the motorway, has great steep routes on very featured rock. Probably the best route is a 6a+ […]

A rest day and damp weather. Why not suss out a crag? Pliego turns out to be possibly the worst crag in Spain. Couldn’t quite help ourselves from doing a […]

Since heading down to the Costa Blanca ten days ago we’ve enjoyed pretty much unbroken sunshine, with temperatures gradually rising from low teens to a preposterous 24C yesterday. Happily this […]

We’d been to this crag near Orihuella about 10 years ago, and I’d come away with a lasting memory of an excellent 6c+ up an orange corner, and a feeling […]

This one is in Rockfax! After yesterday’s tough day’s pulling a bit further along the hillside, we decided on a multi pitch adventure as a semi rest day. What better […]

We checked out this relatively recently developed sector, and came away really impressed. A great mix of climbing across the grades, routes all clearly labelled at the bottom, on immaculate […]

We’d been to a couple of sectors at Bellus and found them a mixed bag – interesting shapes and pockety rock but with unfortunate levels of polish and occasionally bizarre […]

Teaming up with Keefe and Tansy we had been warned to dress up warmly for a trip to Sector Wild Side at Sella. The crunch of ice as we drove […]

We’ve been visiting Calpe for almost 25 years, and whilst it was already well beyond a fishing village when we first visited, the extent of further development continues to surprise. […]

After we survived another sat nav inspired mystery tour we arrived at a great campsite in the Valle de Laguar. Views over olive groves down to the sea. Also handy […]

Monday started wet, so time to mosy on further south via Chulilla. Campervan central seems to have been established in the main parking area, with a team of Czech climbers […]

Wandering into town from the free campervan parking area, past the thermal swimming pools, it was clear that something was afoot. 17th January was evidently a special day, with heaps […]
