I know about Siurana, Margalef and Rodellar but is there any great climbing on the Atlantic end of the Pyrenees, either in France or in Spain?
thanks

There is spectacular climbing in northern Spain in the Picos de Europa. It is called the Yosemite of Spain. Google it for beta.

speaking of Yosemite, there is an area called petit Yosemite in the french part of the Pyrenees, though that is on the Mediterranean side.

[quote "qwertI am not too well informed about the spanisch climbing scene, but isnt that area mostly limestone? that would make it quite hard to call it Yosemite…

I'm not the one who calls it the Yosemite of Spain. Maybe the size of the cliffs? Ask the Spanish why it is called that. There was an article quite some time ago about it in one of the American climbing mags.
