I may have the chance to go to the Costa Blanca in May. Presumably it will be pretty hot. Are there good, cool and shady crags there - for climbing in the 7s.

In reply to stp:

Forada is ideal 

In reply to stp:

• Castellet de Calp

In reply to stp:L'Ocaive further North is also shady and has good routes round those grades.  As mentioned above Forada would be a good option, the routes are class and when it was 20°C down by the coast last November it was about 5°C with frost on the ground up at Forada.  Cabezon de Oro and Rincon Bello might be worth a look too if you can find the topos.

 

In reply to stp:

Wildside

Bovedos (up the way from bovedon, no Topo afaik)

Aixorta (look on here or 8a.nu)

Pared de rosalia

Cabezon d'oro (shade until the late afternoon I think)

 

 

 

 

 

In reply to stp:

L'Ocaive will be in the shade until around 1pm. For continued shade here head leftwards under the crag and under the massive Boulder, turn right beyond the boulder for more routes - shady most of the day.

Aixorta nevero up near Castell de Castells has even more shade and is high up, so cooler.

 

Both great locations
