UKC

Think of Costa Blanca and to most, it will conjure images of crag after impressive limestone crag, safe bolted routes and a large quantity of unclimbed cliffs. Simon Jacques jettisons his rope, straps a mat to his back and explores some of the smaller rocks on the sunny white coast.

A great advert for the orange house and very little pictures of quality bouldering

My parents live near this area and I've been to these areas. Please don't go all the way to Spain for this its rubbish. Take a rope!

In reply to JoH - Editor:

The fomatting is a bit funny round one of the pictures - the words overlap it making them unreadable.

In reply to Anonymous:

Its not rubbish and Simon is not suggesting you don´t take a rope its just a change from the climbing and great if you are here alone or with the family and kids etc..

Guess you didn't see this bit?


"Best interspersed with the routes"





Lots of people have asked for areas to go bouldering on a rest day or when its too warm etc

Something that Adrian and ourselves have been helping peeps with for a few years:

http://www.geocities.com/costablancaclimbing/theclimbing.html

- the coast at Denia is a lovely chill out beach - where you can choose to climb or swim or just laze eat drink and be chilled...

Same with Montessa - lots of great sport routes ( as the article pertains to ) - and a boulder if you want above the groves next to the castle -

Supply & Demand - not an advert - just hopefully an article to help those who want to boulder in between clipping or without partners!!

And when Mick gets the Topo's up - hopefully you will all go & enjoy!!

Cheers

Here's a couple of websites for people who might want to go but maybe don't want to fly because of global warming,seat61 was the best one last time i had a look,they list things like cargo ferries and where they go to,and ferry and train companies.
