Summary
Unspectacular cliff with easy to moderate routes on medium to poor rock quality overlooking a noisy highway.
Description
Slab
All day sun
South
Con alrededor de 20 vías, este es una escuela bastante pequeña. El rango de grados es generalmente de 5 y 6. Este es una pared orientado completamente al sur, así que el invierno será la época preferida para escalar. Sea o no la temporada, lo más probable es que esté solo en este peñasco.
La calidad de la roca es bastante pobre ya que la pared consiste en bloques de roca que se encuentran uno encima del otro. Las grietas que se rompen o se desprenden no son, por desgracia, muy raras aquí. Se aplicó algo de pegamento en algunos lugares para mantener los bloques en su lugar.
La ubicación del peñasco en la cima de la colina ofrece una vista. Desafortunadamente, la autopista cercana se cruza justo debajo - y eso también se puede escuchar como un constante ruido de fondo.
En general, probablemente es mejor conducir un poco más lejos a Altura o Jérica.

With round about 20 routes, this is a rather small crag. The grade range is generally 5s and 6s. This is an entirely south-facing crag, so winter will be the preferred time of climbing. Whether or not it's season, you'll most likely be alone at this crag.
The rock quality is rather poor as the wall consists of blocks of rock sitting on top of each other. Holds breaking or coming off is unfortunately not all too seldom here. Some glueing was applied at places to keep blocks in place.
The location of the crag on top of the hill offers a view. Unfortunately, the nearby highway is crossing just underneath - and that can also be heard as constant background noise.
All in all you're probably better off driving a little bit further to Altura or Jérica.

Approach
Steep hike
5-10 min
From the parking (
39.753292, -0.377075) next to a grey concrete hut follow a poorly marked footpath uphill for ten minutes to the base of the crag.
In case you leave your car down by the road, make sure not to block the passage of heavy machinery (tractors, delivery trucks, etc.). The road is frequently used by the residents of nearby Algímia.
