Climbing around 'Cavallers'

Weekend in the pyrenees. Nice opportunity to go climbing.

I borrowed a copy of ‘Roca Caliente (Hot Rock) en los Pirineos’ by Luis Alfonso. Decided that the best place would be around the ‘Cavallers’ dam (15 minutes drive from Caldes de Boi in the ‘Parc Nacional de Aigues Tortes i St.Maurici’).

I basically chose something quite easy as Maria hasn’t climbed a lot. We went to the ‘Kanalla’ sector which is basically mostly IV and a couple of V/V+.

I setup a IV route for her, which she climbed quite well, but which shook her a bit. It’s very easy but it’s basically all adhesion.

She didn’t want to climb after that, but was quite happy to belay me. I only did a few routes myself (A couple at IV and 1 at IV+), but they were a joy to climb.

And the setting was just fantastic. (I have photos which I’ll be posting just as soon as I can get the photo app part of bligi up).

I’m definitely going to go back and try something a bit more testing…
