Hi,

I have a couple weeks in mid April that I'd like to use to climb some long, possibly remote, routes somewhere in Europe, either on rock or snow/ice. I'm leading about f6a multipitch, HVS trad multipitch or Scottish mixed grade IV. I don't mind a long walk, camping, huts snowcaves etc.

Any ideas would be really appreciated! So far was thinking maybe Tre Cime di Lavaredo or Lofoten but I'm not sure about the weather at that time of year?

Thanks!

Marcus

First reply and it`s not in Europe, but you might consider Morocco.

That's a really good suggestion. Already climbed in the Anti-Atlas, I think 2009, and the trad is fantastic! Having just been back there, this time to the Atlas Mountains for a mountain biking trip I ran, I'm thinking I'd like to try somewhere else.

Please keep the ideas coming.

Sardinia, Surtana, beautiful hanging valley and when I was there I was talking to a German who was bolting, I`m sure he said a 360m line but could have that wrong, but the climbing I did was on beautiful clean ultra sharp limestone.

Not Europe, but how about Canada? Very cheap once you get there and some very remote places.

Now that sounds amazing! Have a longer break of about 4 weeks in the summer where Canada could be a really great option. Was also thinking maybe Lofoten for the summer.

Anywhere you'd recommend in particular?

Could consider El Chorro in Spain?
Wouldn't exactly be described as remote, but I thought it was a really awesome setting.
You can have some pretty cool days walking to the crags, and there are a whoe bunch of 6+ pitch routes to go at.

A few routes:
Amptrax (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=112546
Nitti (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=244893)
Rogelio (http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=112704)

Nitti and Rogelio have both been extended since the Rockfax guide was published - there are also quite a few newly bolted routes - the guys at the Olive Branch were really helpful with info about those.

April could be a bit late for snow / ice except the alps. Quieter crags in the Pyrenees I know of include Montrebei (nr Ager, Spain) & Neouvielle (nr St Lary, France)
