Carolina and I together with our friend Nick and his family spent a lazy summer´s afternoon at a beautiful limestone valley near Bellus. Bellus is close to the historical town of Xativa, some 40 minutes drive from home (not far from Aventador for those who know the area).
The crag at Bellus largely comprises steep hard routes of 6a+ and above. There are however some good mid grade routes to be enjoyed by mere mortals such as I.

We began on a couple of 4+ routes named El Molino and Pera Pares.

Sufficiently lured into a sense of false security Nick then lead me up El Buitre Pescador, a sustained and thin 6a+.

Having reached the point where finger strength was running out we decided to end the afternoon by having a swim in the river at the foot of the crag, followed by a coffee in the village.
