description

Granite climbing, decent bolt installation and placements. Access to the top climbs not as easily noticeable but there's a few paths that head in those directions. Check the installed topo at the crag, and also the hiking signs to find other areas. This is a micro climate on this hill. It might be warm and sunny down the bottom, but consider taking warmer clothing for the crag.

access issues

No crazy access issues to the first few climbs, however vegetation and moss has grown over some areas so you'll need to keep a close eye out for features on the rock to know where you are along the wall. No noticeable signage to the upper areas (closer to the base of the castle wall), check the topo and the hiking signs together to find your way.

approach

Easy approach. Park at (38.790194, -9.392528) and follow the signs down to the crag. Keep an eye out for the installed sign with the route names and grades. (same as the attached photos of this area)

To get to the crag, starting from the road crossings up from Convento dos Capuchos:

• head EAST talking the dirt road that is parallel to the tarmac road.
• walk for about 500m and take a right (it means ignore the first right that comes at about 200m)
• then take the first right
• within a few more meters you'll be at the top of the crag
• get to the bottom of the crag through the left

summary

Sun, sea and climbing everything together for good times.

description

Well established and sometimes a bit crowded sea cliff with very short approach in the middle of Cascais. Plenty of well bolted medium level routes on very variable rock structures. Pretty sunny and often a bit sheltered from the sea breeze, so especially good on colder days, but not impossible during summer neither.

Route names and grades are written at the base of each climb, so a visit without a guide is unproblematic.

approach

--[en]--

Park along the street close to the Guia lighttower in Cascais (38.695944, -9.446788). From there, descent the stairs to reach sector Escadas / Bloco Escadas in less then 1min.

--[pt]--

A partir de Lisboa pode-se chegar a Cascais pela Marginal ou pela autoestrada. Em qualquer dos casos seguem-se as indicações para o Guincho. Chega-se à zona da Guia onde se pode avistar o respectivo farol. Pode estacionar-se o carro junto às bombas da Repsol. A entrada para o sector mais frequentado está bem indicada pelo recente pórtico.

Para quem venha do lado de Sintra, segue-se até à Malveira da Serra e daí até ao Guincho. A continuação desta estrada leva até à Guia. Embora seja um longo percurso, a beleza desta paisagem compensa bem o esforço.

description

In this area, balancy and slabbish climbing on coarse grained yellow granite boulders is dominating. Many easier problems, but also plenty of hard stuff. Quite condition dependent, therefore not so ideals after rainfall.

approach

Leave your cat at the big parking of the donkey reserve (38.78267, -9.43538). In front of it, take the dirt road to the right for about 250m, then left for another 100m and again right for 100m. To the right, a wide path will lead to the egg boulder.

where to stay

There is a large bivouacking place a bit above the egg boulder.

Summary:

Lat / Long: 38.693155, -9.434889

summary

Beautiful limestone crag by the sea with lots of boulders and a few sport routes. Perfect for interleaving bouldering with a dive in summer days.

description

Beautiful crag with lots of boulders and natural shallow pools right next to the sea. The rock feels okay but with some sharp edges and sometimes slightly slippery because of salt. The floor can be rough to walk bare-foot. Perfect spot to go for a dive during hotter days. There's usually a few fisherman and beachgoers there but is generally very calm.

access issues

Beware of rough sea and tall waves during high tides in the winter.

approach

You can park next to the Hot dog stand and 20m to the left when facing the sea, on the other side of the railing you can see stone steps and a metal door frame. Go down those steps and you're there.

ethic

On the way down to the crag there's a vandalised sign saying entry is not allowed, but there's generally people there, including beachgoers and fisherman.
