Costa Vertical – The outdoor specialist for rock climbing, walking and more in Spain's Costa Blanca
“Diedros Mágicos”, 6a (E1)
Keeping a promise I made to myself this season, I set off for the Puig Campana with Craig Naylor to climb a route on this awesome mountain. I have always wondered why I drive all over the Costa Blanca climbing, when this great venue is on my door step. This was to be my third route on the mountain, and we had selected “Diedros Mágicos”, 6a (E1).

The start of the year was great so I decided to do a nice walk from our Sella base through the Buddhist valley and up to Sanxet, while Tony went climbing to the “Wildside” with friends.

This is one of the three new sector beyond sector “Final” at La Moleta in the Sella valley. It is possible to drive up to the yellow house at the top of the hill and parking is available, alternatively it is a short walk up the hill.
We’ve already released the topo for sector “Doggie Guantanamo” which you could download here. There is one further sector directly behind sector “Final” with grades from 4+ to 6a. We will post this topo soon, however Continue Reading →
Last week’s multi-pitch adventure led us to “Cabezon de Oro” near Busot where we climbed the route “Espolón Paiju”, 5+ (HVS), 7 pitches. The crux pitch is a 35 meter traverse graded 5+ / A1 – free 6b. It’s an awesome, but exposed pitch which keeps the adventure for both – leader and second.
Today we finally release our new topo for sector “Doggy Guantanamo” in Sella. It’s written in English, German and Spanish. The topo is available for download here.
There’s now a topo available for the right part of sector “Doggy Guantanamo” in Sella.
1. 6a+, 2. 6a, 3. 5+, 4. 5+, 5. 6a
The routes are directly above the parking area of Casa Toni at La Moleta.
We will update topos of the newly bolted sectors in Sella frequently, however Continue Reading →
The circular route around “Puig Campana” offers a great day out with family and friends. The walk suits young and old and doesn’t contain any exposed or very difficult parts.
Start and finish of the walk is the “Font del Moli” in Finestrat.
