Busot sector Tocayo
There’s been a lot of development on the side of Cabezon d’Oro above the town of Busot, and furnished with much beta from Justin and Chris we set out to […]

Mar de Fuego – multi pitch adventure on Frontales Bajas
Last day of the trip so we decided to have a multi pitch adventure – Snr Fernandez’ website came up with the goods in the form of Mar de Fuego, […]
Villanueva del Rosario
Another day of discovery on a new crag – Villanueva del Rosario is about an hour’s drive north east of El Chorro, just beyond Antequerra, and became famous in 2003 […]
El Makinodromo and playing with trains
With the opening of the refurbished “Camineto del Rey” El Chorro is really on the map, with a thousand visitors on busy days! There was certainly quite a procession in […]
Puerto Rico – the Spanish one
After his exertions on Shark Attack Jake decided on a rest day (sensible chap – don’t know where he gets it from), but offered to undertake belay duty for the […]
Frontales and Poema Roca
Back to the sunny side and a day on Frontales. We meandered along without much of a plan until beneath sector Momia, and ended up warming up on a 7a, […]
Desplomilandia – chillin!
I allowed myself to be talked into a day at Desplomilandia on the basis that it felt pretty warm yesterday. Not a problem a few hundred metres higher and on […]
Effels, Nideggen
For a final night we were looking for somewhere within striking distance of Rotterdam (3 hours or so), not too far out of our way, and with maybe the chance […]
Burgfelsen, Lofenstein
We spent a peaceful but very expensive (€24!) night at a campsite in Steyr (an odd spot which seemed to double up as the boathouse and launch ramp for the […]
Jammerwandl, Baden
A fairly uneventful trip across Hungary saw us into Austria by mid day and parking on the outskirts of Baden a couple of hours later. Jammerwandl is a somewhat urban […]
Baile Herculane
The spa resort of Baile Herculane is probably the finest climbing area in Romania – Petzl presumably thought so, as it featured on their last RocTrip. We arrived late and […]
Serres and journeying north
We woke to rain for our last morning at Camping Semeli at Leonidio – no last sunrise over the Myrtoon Sea; no last breakfast on the beach; but fewer regrets […]
Return trip to Mars
On arriving back at the campsite in Leonidio after our Kyparissi excursion we’d spotted a fellow GB plated campervan and were surprised to find that our friends Andy and Wendy […]
Theos
Another gorgeous day with just a hint of a breeze to make some sunny climbing tolerable. Theos is a series of sectors running rightwards from Yellow Wall and making up […]
Hot Rock
Another one for a cooler day (I guess the clue’s in the name). Hot Rock is on the far left end of Kokkinovrachos, and accessed by an easy 10mins mostly […]
Skiadianiko
We’d gazed down on this major crag from the lofty viewpoint of Elona, a week or so earlier. Clearly in full sun with what looks like a major traipse. A […]
Mad Wall and Yellow Wall
With a big storm arriving just in time to force a much-needed rest-day, we seized the opportunity of the cloud cover the following day to visit one of the many […]
Kyparissi – Kastraki
We spent a peaceful night high above Kyparissi at the parking for sector Psilovrachos, with the clearing storm painting the skies and sea red We awoke to find just how […]
Vlychada
Yet another tortuous drive south leads from Kyparissi village up past the higher crags and over a coll at about 700m before winding through a couple of mountain villages until […]
Kyparissi – sector Watermill
We decided to take a side trip to Kyparissi, about 15km further down the coast. That’s 15km as the crow flies, but about 40km by road (and that’s a huge […]
