GUADALEST: Sport climbing

Marie

Such a wondeful place, i'll never get bored from it

Guadalest is probably one of my favourite place on the Costa Blanca. The magic of the village built on stiff cliff makes it quite touristic but not too much. By climbing there you can enjoy the magnificient view on the palace and over the turquoise lake on some multi-pitches or long routes.

We wemt there with friends who were on holidays with their 1 year old baby and it was totally find to bring him to the crag as it's litterally by the parking and there is a welcoming refuge for climbers next to it.

We went to the new routes by the overhanging part and loved it. Daniel tried his first 7a, directly leading it. The holds were really good but coming over the buldge was tricky. The limestone has hole forming features which make you feel you by the sea sometimes. The colours go from white to dark orange. Guadalest has a lot to offer, it won't be the last post about it for sure!

One thing: don't forget your helmet, nor camera ;)
