WildSide in Sella

One of the most important crags in Sella is WildSide, which probably is the best one in Alicante. Difficulties vary from 6c+ to 8c. The place is amazing and the routes
are beautiful.

CLimbing in Sella

Climbing near Granada - Loja Tuffa paradise

If you plan to go to Granada and also want to climb there are many good places you can go. However if you plan going near Granada for climbing do not spend all your time climbing and please visit Granada.

Loja is a tuffa paradise where you find a lot of difficult routes but where you also have some easy routes maybe not the same quality. Loja is about 40 km far from Granada and with more than 100 most quality routes.





The most famous one is Hasta Luego Lucas a 7b route which if you climb with style will be between two big tuffas.

Loja is better in Spring Summer or Autumn but if there is bad wheather or you go in Winter you can visit Cogollos Vega or Cahorros, good other crags near Granada.

Loja Topos: croquis tk click Croquis on the left, click over Granada and Loja.

Climbing Teverga

Teverga is a beautiful place in Astuarias (north of Spain) with many crags, good routes, tuffas... Perfect place to visit on Summer because of it's cool weather.





There are routes for beginners and also overhang tuffa routes for 'lolos'.

Teverga climbing topos



Another good place for climbing near from Teverga is Quiros. There you'll find a climbing refuge with topos of the vertical routes.

Finally, a climbing video:

Climbing in Prades.

Next week I'll be on holidays (finally) and I will go climbing to Teverga where I've never been. I'll show you some pictures, topos and talk about the crag. Hopefully you are climbing now and not surfing the Internet as I am. But if you are surfing to find where to go a good place is Prades (Tarragona) where you find different kinds of rock and climbs and orientations so it is a good place to visit anytime. However, you hace to choose well wich place to go depending on the wheather.

I attach a good link where you find some topos of some crags in Prades. La Mussara, Margalef, Siurana, La Riba, Mont-Ral. As usually the Web page is in Spanish (this time Catalan) but if you try the links you'll find the topos.

If you find interesting or useless the links in Spanish I give you, please let me know.

Prades (La Mussara, Margalef, Siurana, La Riba, Mont-Ral)

Bruixes Terradets

In Terradets (Girona, Spain) there are some amazing crags for climbing. If you like big walls there are two of them with height around 500 meters. However, if you are also looking for good bolted overhanging routes there it is the famous crag 'Les bruixes'.

I have been there only once but I will probably go again on Easter.

You can find a good topo with almost all the routes here

Bouldering

For classical climbers bouldering could mean nothing but it is atracting more and more climbers day by day. There are even many climbers that only like bouldering.

For sure bouldering videos are much more amazing than other climbing videos and through the Internet we can find new bouldering videos everyday.

A good one:
