Crag features
Penya del Barranc Blanc - Not a classic crag by any means, but it's in a nice quiet little valley and well worth a visit.
There is a board at the base of the crag with a photo topo showing the routes and grades (Jan 2024), see the photos tab for images of this. During 2024 there have been a few routes added and a few grades adjusted. The local climbers have drawn these on the photo-topo which has been photographed again and uploaded to the photos tab.
Recently re-bolted the equipment is good, some sections of the crag suffer from poor rock quality (this is improving with traffic), but routes on the right are on excellent rock. Routes are around 20m long.
The crag faces SE and so gets lots of sun. In December/January the left hand end of the crag starts to get shade around 13:00. The shade moves right and the right side of the crag comes into shade at about 15:00
Approach notes
The small town of Rotova is accessed easily from the now motorway CV-70 which goes W from the Gandia area.
The pin on the UKC map is in the correct place. On Google maps if you zoom right in to this area the crag is marked and named as "zona escalade en el barran blanc de Rotova".
Narrow tarmac roads go through or round the town depending which exit you take from the motorway and to the end of a dirt track leading into the orange groves. There is room for about 3 cars to park at the end of the track. (38.9304886, -0.2670538). There is a sign naming and pointing to the crag and a named PR footpath along baranc blanc. Walk along the track and follow the yellow and white PR markers up left, back right until an obvious access path to the crag on the left. Approximately 10 minutes from the parking.
