Busot – Lower Tier
This stretches across the hillside and is approached from below arriving at the right hand end with sector El Torreon, followed by Jabugo, Circo, Pallitella, Jamon, Karma, and Toki – […]

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 […]
