Spain: CRAGS

Poema Cave, El Chorro

Scenic. The best word to describe where you are climbing at in Spain. The climbing itself consisted of fun and varying moment but the setting of each crag set the tone. Beatuiflly colored walls meandering into the Spanish forests retaking there claim to land in ancient orchards. The trees with the jungle-esc fauna helped enhance the otherworldly feeling of the areas.
Turon Left Side, El Chorro
 The rock was textured and solid on the majority of lines we tried. The golden rule was climb the ones with visible chalk and you won't be disappointed. 
The first area we climbed at was El Chorro. The walls had Stalactites and Tufas!!! The Sweeping views of the reservoir and valley below where enjoyable and made belaying a refreshing activity for both the skin and the eyes. Sorry for the short write up. I'm still in a fog from the adventurous (61 hrs of travel) journey home. More to come tomorrow!
