This is one of the newly-documented crags in the Lopez guide, and we’d earmarked it for a visit last year, but never quite got around to it. It’s a very […]

Hot and Bove’d – Back to Bovedon and Bovedin
Quite a lot has changed since our last visits to the trio of Bove… crags near Gandía (Bovedon, Bovedin and Bovedos) – we’d probably had only one or two previous […]
Pinet – Off the Radar Paradise
Our chance encounter with Kev and Jen at Cucala was not just a happy reconnection but also resulted in a top tip for a new climbing area to explore… The […]
Three sides of Cabeçonet a.k.a. Busot
This was a return trip to this fine set of crags above the town of Busot (which we first visited in 2018) now armed with the definitive CB guidebook (rather […]
Rincon Bello – it really is a Beautiful Corner of Spain
Another new (to us) shady mega-crag – Rincon Bello is hidden away up in the hinterland, 20km inland from Alicante and not far from the town of Petrer. Unlike many […]
Unfinished Business at Tierra de Nadie
Tierra de Nadie was our favourite find of 2020 – we had three highly enjoyable and productive days there in Feb/March before taking a break to Finestrat to welcome the […]
More Mula – Above (Pasillo) and Below (La Presa) the Dam
We hadn’t expected to return to Mula so soon, but I had a belated leaf through Donde Escalar before we started our journey north, and spotted a new “featured crag”. […]

Ambolo
The clifftops around the spectacular Cap de la Nau, beyond Xabia, are crammed with holiday properties, seemingly stuck on at random anywhere there’s a bit of non-vertical space – like […]
La Solana and Lliber RHS
La Solana is a newish crag on the hillside just west of Lliber and immediately above the village of Xalo (Xs seem to have won out over Js in the […]
Garx – Formerly known as Las Cerezas (Cherries) and before that ‘Crag X’
Our only previous visit to this crag was under oath not to reveal its whereabouts or even existence – armed with a scribbled topo we had a brilliant day at […]
Poet – Les Penyes Roges, Sector dels Pouets
We’ve been climbing on the Costa Blanca for over 30 years and must have accumulated at least a year “in residence” over that time (maybe two!) so there’s always the […]
