Spanish Highs

SORRY BUT WORK ON THE GUIDE HAS HAD SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY DUE TO WORK COMMITMENTS. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY ADDITIONS OR DISCOVERIES:

This great climbing venue is still relatively unknown in the UK. The area provides a fantastic alternative to Scotland with much more chance of that magical combination of snow and sun! We are currently working on a climbing guide to the area. We would welcome any feed back from climbers who have visited the area and have tried out any of the climbs. This part of the website will give climbers a flavour of whats' on offer.We welcome the chance to share this information with interested parties. Please bear in mind that this is ongoing work, much of which will be completed this coming winter. Use it as inspiration! You will find a list of routes below.
