Description

This is one of the most successful schools in the Costa Blanca. Practically since the moment of its creation, the peculiarity of its routes, the beauty of its surroundings and the privileged orientation of its walls have turned this place into a benchmark in Alicante's climbing. Its sectors are located in the surroundings of the recreational area that gives the crag its name, a well-loved area visited by the inhabitants of the nearby towns. Its main wall is the undisputed protagonist. It has fifty routes where you will find both vertical and slightly overhanging walls with routes up to an average of 25-30 meters and where the main grips are crimps (sometimes with very peculiar shapes) and pockets. The shade is one of its greatest attractive, and which makes it one of the few schools facing north where you can climb in the summer without excessive heat.

History

Although there are some routes from the 70s, its beginnings may be placed in 2006, when José M. Anaya and Miguel Anta began bolting the first vertical routes on the left side of the main wall. Afterwards, both bolters, along with Ruth Becares, Ernesto Navarro and other local climbers, would carry out the major development of the crag, giving rise to many of the great classics of the area. Finally, the definitive expansion of the main sector would come from Miguel Navarro "Doke", Marcos Bas, Iván González and Simón García, who would take advantage of the lateral flanks to complete a wall in which practically all the options for new routes have been exhausted.
