Les Saleretes: small and peaceful

These days in Catalonia are cold and dry, we barely reach temperatures above 5 degrees, but skies are mostly clear and the wind is just a gentle breeze. This gives us perfect conditions for climbing in sunny south-facing sectors. A good example is Les Saleretes, a small and peaceful spot in the province of Girona, [...]

Climbing and fun in Riglos

Riglos is an awesome place for multi-pitch sport climbing: its idyllic location, its stunning skyline, its special kind of rock with a lot of big, rounded holds commonly called "potatoes", its 300 metres of vertical, slightly overhanging walls, make it a unique spot, where you can really taste the feeling [...]

Pink Floyd – 10 pitch climb in the Pyrenees

The summer heat is here so this weekend we headed up to higher grounds and did the high quality easy route Pink Floyd in Dent d'Orlu, just over the border into France.

Climbing in Gorge du Tarn

Gorges du Tarn is undoubtedly one of the finest sport climbing destinations in France. The river Tarn has eroded the Causse Méjean and Causse de Sauveterre limestone plateaus into a number of steep canyons. In summer, the river is full of vacationing continentals floating downstream in rented kayaks, and on the slopes of the valley [...]
