The vast southern flank of the Bernia Ridge has a small
number of quality routes, mostly in the upper grades.
The ridge itself is a classic.

A couple of crags in different settings - one sheltered
and slabby, the other more exposed and much steeper.
Not especially popular despite easy access.

This spooky and windy gorge has a lot of climbing but
has never been very popular. The hard wall has had its
base washed away.

Y
A recently-developed crag in a shady setting with a
decent set of face climbs. Should become a reasonably
viable summer venue.

Vies with Sella for popularity. Always busy, especially
the easy routes on the Placa and Far West. The Sea Cliff
adds another very different attraction.

Calp's own mountain has a great set of climbs, several
of which are on the 'must do' circuit. Epics and benight-
ments are quite common - you have been warned!

High above Calp, a decent crag in a great position with a
couple of hyper-photogenic climbs. The walk up is a bit
longer than you might be expecting. Afternoon shade.

A small steep roadside crag with a decent set of gener-
ally hard and powerful routes, that are sheltered from
the wind and rain. The view out towards Calp is superb.

A collection of excellent hardish wall climbs on good
rock. The afternoon shade makes it popular at certain
times but it is also a good morning sun-trap.

Super-steep climbs suitable for the power-hungry. There
are (much) easier offerings out beyond the ridge.
352

5 - 6 min
E
The most popular crag in the local area, with a great set
of routes in a really sunny setting. The routes on the far
right have been lost, but there is still loads to do here.

A crag that is better and cleaner than it looks with some
fine face routes on the left and some much beefier stuff
around the cave. In the shade for most of the day.

A minor crag which has proved to be surprisingly
popular. Some loose rock around so care needed.

A pair of crags near Pego town, one small and insignifi-
cant and one with a great set of routes. Can be tricky to
find, though hopefully less so than in the past!

One of the original Blanca venues has been popular
for years. It has a really great set of routes in a sunny
setting. Bovedon adds upsidedown fun into the mix.

An extensive set of cliffs in a secluded valley which has
never been as popular as the quality of the climbing
deserves. Sun and shade are always on offer.

An interesting set of cliffs that offer hot and cold weather
venues on some superb walls of quality rock. The setting
is impressive and it deserves to be more popular.

Great rock in a sunny setting, but the grid-bolting has
rather spoilt the effect. The easier routes on the right are
quite popular, as is the via ferrata on the left.

3 - 5 min

Oddly this venue is more popular than you might expect
despite the long drive. Grippy pocketed rock and a good
set of middle and lower grade routes are the explanation.
