Full photo link Started on in Sevilla checking out what is supposedly the world's largest artificial wall / gym area (in terms of volume size, not height. source: the internet, so you decide). Just me and the lady checking it out on day one, then my buddy arrived and we went climbing on one of the days that we stuck around in Sevilla. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8473/8364332961_f0176211d9.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8324/8365394156_1219dc2db0.jpg[/image] Then my buddy and I hit some limestone in a small town called Moron de la Frontera. Yeah, we joked about that, too. Climbing was uninspiring, but since there really aren't a lot of options close to Sevilla (day-trip options), we climbed what we could. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8361880367_0c6a74d554.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8363/8362951492_71a7da5b78.jpg[/image] next day went to a sweet place called Cerro del Hierro, which is an old mine. Our guidebook sucked, so we hiked in sans gear to find the climbs. Turns out we were lucky because one needs permission to climb there first, and the fine is pretty stiff if you're caught. The photos of the steep spires were in an off-limits area that we said "fuck it" to and hiked in anyway. Wow. Pics don't do it justice. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8226/8362929612_8cf59bb5df.jpg[/image] The spires in the below photos are significantly taller than they appear. As in, we couldn't see the bottom from our vantage point on the top: [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8378/8361860999_263a6c0e11.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8190/8361815349_ffdf94532f.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8094/8362872218_396cc2d6b9.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8097/8361802115_7a8c851392.jpg[/image] Went back to the bridge after getting shut down by permissions: [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8467/8364316051_07d8f20751.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8351/8364315537_6d6fde52f2.jpg[/image] My buddy got one clip from the end. I didn't get that far...by a long shot. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8221/8364314665_db2e5c6632.jpg[/image] And then came El Chorro: You can see the famed El Camino del Rey in the midpoint leading to the bridge. It's closed now to hikers, but climbers can access it to get at the climbs in the Gorge. Was incredibly impressive. You need to access the bridge via a via ferrata that follows that ridge line below the pathway. The reason is that the pathway above the ridgeline doesn't continue to the scree field off to the right. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8098/8361687201_325193f909.jpg[/image] The Frontales sector [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8098/8362705456_6d6391e79c.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8501/8361630339_d5249f4832.jpg[/image] [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8217/8362775892_50a1fb2578.jpg[/image] Yes, the trees grow that way [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8212/8365483484_bb28478ea5.jpg[/image] A photo you should vote for http://www.rockclimbing.com/...Escalera_121429.html The view of Ardales from the roof of our casa. Ardales is the small town we stayed in, about 15min from El Chorro by car. [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8075/8365483166_b06995414d.jpg[/image] awww... [image]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8491/8365482164_eca033e457.jpg[/image] And yes, there's a large caipirinha on the table below, just out of the picture. grate, noa eye has 2 log in @ home, nutt'n butt little read ex's.
