This has been a year of climbing in spectacular spots, high up in the hills and accessed only thanks to centuries of work in constructing snaking tracks to access a […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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… […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Another dodgy forecast saw a team head for Barcelona in search of some culture and another make a foray to the coast. The rest of us headed to Margalef in […]
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 […]
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 […]
Crossing fingers that the snow had melted, we headed away from the benign weather on the coast and up into the hills of Sierra de Prades to catch up with […]
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 […]
