Montgrony 

March 28, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Berga 

March 27, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

We’d been hoping to use the spring weather towards the end of our trip to explore some of the many cragging options nearer the Pyrenees. After a long wait, we […]

Coll de Nargo – Sector Coll Pique and Samarkand 

March 26, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

A major deluge throughout Saturday prompted a much needed rest day and a change of scene, so we headed over the hills to Oliana. Great views of the world’s second […]

Cubells 

March 23, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Another trip to Cubells – we were last here about 18 months ago with Bill and Steve. Once again the crag seemed to have been block booked by Brits, with […]

Ager – Barranc de Grillons

March 22, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

We’d been itching to head back to this excellent crag ever since arriving in the area, especially Helen who had been injured on the previous occasion we’d visited, but chilly […]

Santa Linya 

March 21, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Another trip to Santa Linya sector Futbalin – I must have climbed here four or five times, and on the face of it that might seem daft considering the other […]

Alos de Balaguere and a 3-crag day 

March 18, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

After a week in the area around Barcelona we felt like getting a bit further away from the metropolis. The Prades and the Pyrenees would both fit the bill, but […]

Grau dels Matxos

March 16, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

After a couple of day’s hiatus in the climbing plan to make room for a 36 hour dash back for a work commitment in Blighty, we’re back in RockAroundTheWorld action…  […]

Cellecs 

March 12, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Further up into the hinterland north of Barcelona, squeezed between the limestone around the coast and the conglomerate of Montserrat, lies a modest but charming set of granite crags. Cellecs […]

Back to Sansuies 

March 11, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

After seeing off the last of the SunRockers on their flights back to Blighty, we had a much needed rest day on the coast near Barcelona, before scratching our heads […]

Siurana – El Ditot and a fitting sunrock finale 

March 9, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

It kept us waiting until the very end, but day 7 of the 2018 SunRock trip finally delivered the kind of day we’d signed up for. Clear skies and warm […]

Arboli – sector El Falco 

March 8, 2018by Dominic 1 Comment

We had  a dull but dry day in prospect, however, the wind had dropped and the temperature of 8C was enough to have teams heading in all directions for the […]

Margalef – Can Llepafils

March 7, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Another bright day and blue skies, but a bitterly cold wind (luck I advertised the meet as Sun Rock rather than Hot Rock!) A couple of options emerged with a […]

Arboli – sector Can Mansa and Simiro and an encounter with a Mighty Penis

March 6, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

That got your attention – and even if it didn’t, it should boost the click count from random Google searches! The “Mighty Penis” in question is a 32m 6a+ at […]

Margalef – El Cami de L’Ermita

March 5, 2018by Dominic 2 Comments

Sansuies – Placa del Sol (… and showers!) 

March 4, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

An unsettled forecast led to much deliberation over guidebooks, Google Maps and various weather apps. Throwing all the data into the melting pot we ended up with a Plan A […]

Siurana – Grau dels Masets – SunRock 2018 Day 1

March 3, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Day 1 of the 2018 Rucksack Club SunRock Meet, and the “Sun” actually put in an appearance (for pretty much the first time in a week!). We also had a […]

Arboli – sector El Cremat 

March 2, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Gelida 

March 1, 2018by Dominic Leave a comment

Bypassing the Sierra de Prades, we sheltered on the coast near Barcelona (lulled to sleep by crashing waves again – not quite the Atlantic but much choppier than the usual […]
