Summary

Escalada deportiva y tradicional variada en torno al desfiladero del río Esera

Varied sport and trad climbing around the gorge of the Esera river

Description

Cuando el río Ésera abandona el embalse de Barasona, serpentea por un estrecho desfiladero en el que ha excavado múltiples paredes macizas y varias palas de roca en forma de aleta. La roca, caliza y conglomerada, varía en calidad. Encontrará escaladas deportivas cortas, ayudas, rutas tradicionales e incluso una vía ferrata. La calidad de los tornillos varía desde los eslabones de cadena atornillados prehistóricos hasta los tornillos modernos. Elija bien.

After the Ésera river leaves the Barasona reservoir, it winds its way through a narrow gorge, where it has excavated multiple massive walls as well as several fin-shaped rock blades. The rock, limestone and conglomerates, varies in quality. You will find short sport climbs, aid, trad routes and even a via ferrata. The quality of the bolts ranges from prehistoric bolted-on chain links to modern bolts. Choose wisely.

Where to stay

Se pueden alquilar algunas casas en Olvena. Hay un camping (abierto por temporadas) en el centro del desfiladero.

Some houses in Olvena can be rented. There is a (seasonally open) camping ground in the centre of the gorge.

Ethic inherited from Aragon

  • La piedra caliza es blanda - por favor, limpie tus zapatos de la suciedad con el fin de evitar asideros y pasos pulidos.
  • No instale top-rope directamente a través de anclaje o anillos - usa tu propio material en su lugar.
  • Limpia las marcas de tiza con un cepillo.
  • No dejes papel higiénico.
  • Recoge la basura - también las colillas de cigarrillos.
  • Aparcar con consideración (los tractores deben poder pasar también el fin de semana).

  • The limestone is soft – please clean your shoes from dirt in order to avoid polished handholds and steps.
  • Don't toprope directly through anchors or bolts – use your own material instead.
  • Clean chalk and tickmarks with a brush.
  • Don't leave toilet paper.
  • Pick up rubbish - also cigarette butts.
  • Park considerately (tractors should be able to pass also at the weekend).
