TORRECILLAS II

A big surprise was to discover just another cliff of the same dimensions and even better rock at the left side. During more than 10 years nobody has realized its presence and potential. 10 new ascents have already been done (04-2001), all from below. The pitches have only a few bolts and often require tricams. They are not recommended for unexperienced climbers.
  • Access: 30 min. from camp of Torrecillas: From the base of the lower climbing cliff, turn left and follow the base of the rock walls to a ridge. From there the way is obvious.
  • Rock: Excellent sandstone
  • Routes: currently 8
  • Grades: until 5.10c
  • Characteristics: Runnels, chimneys, face and slab climbing
  • Height: until 250m
  • Equipment: Only few bolts in place, tricams recommended
  • Exposure: Sun all day
  • Season: All year
