We spent a few hours on Sunday morning on Pena Roja (Gandia), our local crag. We began with 2 'easyish' routes, one of which is a bit of a Gandia classic - Pequeno Saltamontes (5) - as it begins by climbing directly up a vertical hole before emerging onto the face above!
Finished the morning with a battle by top roping 'La Insoportable - 6a'
26th February - Montesa
We spent last Saturday on Montesa Crag. Whilst this is limestone, it's much more sandy than the usual Costa Blanca rock so offers much better friction. It's located close to Xativa (in the interior of Valencia) in a superb spot, next to a castle and overlooking the village of Montesa.
Apart from the main crag, there's also a huge block of rock (16m in height) called Tormo Gros that provides a further 30+ routes. The other advantage is that there's a choice of climbing either in the sun or the shade.
We enjoyed a great day out and climbed a total of 6 routes, including 2 x 4s, 1 x 5 and 3 x 5+s.
