Description

Sunny, sea side crag near Barcelona. Crag gets lots of sun, great on colder days. Must be brutally hot if its warm out, so just in case bring your swimsuit and a towel and hit the beach!

Access is very simple via car, or even a train stop right in the city followed by a short walk.

The rock is very slick, but routes are interesting and the location is awesome. Climbing ranges from very easy to 8a+ (13c).Not world class but worth your visit if you have a half day in Barcelona.

Locals are very friendly, ask for help if you are lost. Town has a few cafes, restaurants, and a small convenience store where you can stock up on pa, formatge, y cervesa.

Routes in 3 areas: El Pas de la Mala Dona (Pass of the bad lady), Sub areas El Teixi (the Roof), Mala Dona Clasic, El Coti. A wall near the Yatch Club also has routes and is in town near the Yatch Club, duh. The better routes are pretty obvious, try to use the following database for location/names/grades:

Getting There

Area just south of the City of Garraf. Drive to Garraf and park at the quarry parking/beach overflow parking.
Or take the train from Barcelona-Tarragona train from southern cities or Sants station/Estacion Francia in Barcelona. A tunnel connects the parking area to the port.

To El Pas de la Mala Dona: from the parking head south on a dirt road, there will still be a mountain between you and the ocean. The dirt road starts to switch back over the Falconera mountain and drops you off the the cliff. See pictures for map.

There is also climbing near the Yatch Club, this area may be closed for Falcon Nesting.
