UKC

I'll mainly be doing sport but interested if there are any trad crags and links to topos anyone knows of?

In reply to Louise Stone: I do not know sorry, but going trad climbing when your in Siurana is like being in Italy and eating McDonalds.

In reply to Louise Stone:

It depends what you consider to be 'near'. Trad in Catalunya is normally found on multi-pitch routes and gets called 'adventure' which means bolt / peg belays (probably) and often a bolt or two at the crux but protecting the rest of the pitch is up to you.

In reply to Aigen:

thats ok, at least you left a helpful response eh! thats ukc for you though......

In reply to Louise Stone:

Surprisingly there are one or two trad lines in Siurana, where a natural crack line has been left unbolted. The nearest decent multipitch trad is further north in the Montsec (e.g. Montrebei), which is a couple of hours drive. Montserrat also has some scary trad (or 'spaced bolts'), about 90 mins drive away. Then the pyrenees is stuffed with trad, of course.

But FWIW I agree with cyberpunk's comment, or at least the sentiment of it. Siurana is inarguably one of the world's finest sport climbing destinations, asking about nearby trad is a little bit of a strange question.

In reply to Louise Stone:

Thanks all, I'm taking that as an overall no - just go ahead and enjoy the sport climbing ; )
