Crag features

North East facing crag which is a good escape from hot weather. In the summer the crag gets shade from early afternoon, in the winter the crag is fairly sheltered from the wind.

The crag sits high above the village of Frigiliana, overlooking the Higueron valley. The crag is steepest at the base slowly turning vertical and then slabby in the upper reaches of most of the routes. Routes tend to be a mix of pockets and small tufa features in the first 8m then turning into edgy face and slab climbing in the latter half of the routes the top. A large cave dominates the middle section of the cliff, several unclimbed projects are bolted though this section. A line of bolts runs horizontally across the crag at about 8m height above the largest section of cave.

Most routes are between 15m to 20m long and the vast majority have recently been rebolted.

There is no guide, although its not uncommon to meet locals who are more than happy to show you round.

After the routes head into Frigiliana with its cobbled streets and whitewashed houses for a beer or some food in the many restaurants.

Litle information about the crag exists, grades have all been supplied from locals and the little local information available, route names are less well known. I've made up some names to add the routes to the database (marked by *).

This is a really worthwhile little crag and a great place to while away a few hours if you're on a family holiday and you're looking for a shady place to climb in the summer.
