From UKC article.
"What gear and which guidebook do I need? The usual sport climbing rack of about 10-15 quickdraws, plus a 60m rope should get you up most things in Siurana. However, there are now some excellent 35-40m(!) pitches in the area so a 70 or even 80m rope would be useful if you don't want to miss out (especially at sectors El Pati, Salt de la Reina Mora, L'Aparador, Can Codolar in Siurana and also at El Falcó or many of the Montsant crags)"
There's this weird bias I find when it comes to sport routes. Even if 60% of the routes can be done with a 50/60 there is an insistence to urge people to bring the length rope that allows them to climb those 5-10% of routes that otherwise you can't do (80m). There is definitely a selection bias when it comes to the longer routes, and I understand why. However those who take a 60m will probably say "it's completely fine with a 60m, because they're looking at the 60% of routes they can and not the 40% they can not.
However if the extra 10/20m makes the difference between climbing that one or or two inspirational routes, then it all seems to be worth it. Especially to those who have dragged that length around
. Everyone advises the size and length they brought in most cases. Anyhow if you do go big, then make sure it's a fairly skinny one and keep half an eye on the baggage allowance.
