2023 onwards - Routes are being re-bolted, moved, renamed and re-graded. Most of these changes and topos have been captured on the website thecrag with handy up to date topos (Jan 25). Not all routes having names at the bottom and the old topos being out of date make this website a valuable resource in the meantime until a new guide is produced.
This is a very good crag with about 200 routes mostly based on the two sides of a limestone gorge close to the town. Routes are often well bolted and single pitch 25-30m, but there are many extension second pitches available. The left hand side consistes mostly of high grade 6 'old school' wall climbing on perfect quality grey limestone. The right hand side of the gorge is steeper in places and has more red rock. The routes are again high quality with some grade 7's available.
The left side of the gorge faces west and in April Horta, Melodies, Can volar and Pisuke stay in the shade until around 1:30pm. Centinela de la torre and Arabe loco are under the castle have a more southerly aspect so get lots of sun.
The right hand side of the gorge, Instinto and Los Huajolotes face south east, and in April come into the shade at around 4:00pm.
Take the A23 motorway NW from the coast towards Teruel. Get off at junction 42 Jerica. There is extensive parking down by the river at the start of the gorge. One easy way to get to this is to turn right before the main part of town, immediately after the second speed bump. This takes you past the school to a T junction. Turn left and alongside the park to get to the parking in 300m. The streets of the town are not narrow by Spanish standards and there are several other ways.
From the parking a path leads along the left side 5-10 minutes. To get to the right side cross the small dam at the start of the path, 10 minutes.
