Camel, Vilanova de Meia

Another nice route at Roca dels Arcs, especially in pitch 3 that crosses the famous wall where is also "Necronomicón" and "Adonde vas Vicente". A very accessible and surprising way in its degree of difficulty: it is difficult to find such vertical IV + pitch.

Les Dames Iron Way. Montserrat

Les Dames is a good Iron way that uses a lot of natural hand holds, that reserves for us a final chimney, polished and without hand holds. There, our climbing technique will be put to the test.

Adeu Espanya!

Nice route at Malanyeu. 100 beautiful meters of moderate difficulty . A splendid climbing day with Carles Vallés! (November 2017)

Bolted route. 10 quick draw and a couple of friends will be enough. Two 50 meters ropes.

Kouba Flex Mini

Roca Gris. Via Esparraguera

Montserrat is home of nice and technical climbs. This original and aesthetic line follows the ridge at this spire. Mandatory 5c at the third pitch. The very last pitch has some commitment. Is clean (4c) so is necessary to bring trad gear. I will recommend a full set of Totemcams (blue to red), two stoppers (12 & 13) and Kouba Permon friends 5 & 6. 

 To descend walk to the northeast and follow the ridge about 100 meters. You will need to find the abseiling system of the Urquiza-Olmo route. Look for JOM hangers and chain In a notorious slab. Three rappels will leave you at the bottom. Recommended to use 60 meter ropes.
