Updates to guide books

General Info (all route numbers refer to the Rockfax Costa Blanca guide book published in 2005 unless otherwise stated).

Mascarat

Descent from Mascarat Aguja Inferior is now very easily accomplished using the completed road descending from Tiox to the bottom of the Mascarat gorge.

Gorge routes are now being re-bolted.

Coves Rojes (Gata)

refer to the Rockfax Costa Blanca (13) Guide

2a. ? line to half the height of the crag

4a. 7c Left of Sin Mas ni Nenos up the tufa and pockets.

5a. ? Project Line right of Sin Mas...

Jalon Valley - L'Ocavie - Approach

Best approached by following the path up the gully which seems to lead a long way from the crag. It does a big U turn just before reaching some trees. do not try striking straight for the cave as you will be torn to shreads.

New routes:

4a. 7a - Left of the RockFax Route 5. At the back of the cave take the wall on steep tufas to a belay next to the tree. Very good.

10a. 7c - Left of Route 11 climb the edge of the wall to a belay in middle of nowhere.

12a. 7c+? - Start up Route 13 and continue straight up the wall on glued edges.

Olta - Left

The best approach to Olta is to follow the route to the camp site. The road is all tarmaced up to here and there's plenty of parking. Follow the wide track up to the crag about 20 minutes - only the last bit is steep.

3a. Iyenga 7a ** 32m. Start right and below Tufa Groove and climb through the bulge. Continue up the wall to good holds in the crack. Move up to a ledge and take the difficult rib above to a further good hold below the steep crack. Up this and move right to join Tao to pull around the final roof on excellent holds.

F.A. Richard Davies 14th August 2006

There is two new routes on a new buttress just up the gully to the right of route 20.

21. Unknown - Climb the left side of the wall.

22. Breakthrough - Climb leftwards to reach a groove in the center of the buttress continue straight up to finish.

Sella - Pared de Rosalia

La Dereche de Beto - pitch 1 - 7a, pitch 2 - 7b/7b+ (FA. Anaya)

Start 5 or 6 meters left of Luna and climb in a direct line to the belay of that route. More right into Esto Escampa and follow this for pitches 2 and 3. Take the line going rightwards to the top of the crag.

2a. Little Boy - 6b, 6b+, 7b/7b+, 7a (FA. Roy Anaya)

Start up Esto Escampa for the first pitch. Move rightwards into the middle of the wall and climb straight up to the top.

Bellus

8. Pure de Pascueros - this is 7a

8a. Climb just left of Coloquiadio - grade unknown

10. Warlock - should be 7b+

11a. - this line is a project up the very blank wall.

13. Mutante is thought by the locals to be easier than 8a - but requires two big dynos.

24a. line 4 meters to the left of El Buitre Pescador

24b. - the ? line in the rockfax guide
