Description

Full sun wall with tall climbs. About 20 routes total. Relatively secluded, you will likely have a place to yourself.

The wall has three sections: The orange leftmost section with very tall routes, the middle section with short slabby climbs under a bulging roof, and the righmost section with long slabby climbs on mostly grey rock.

Getting There

From the parking lot at the football field take the dirt road below the parking lot, going right/westward. After ~350m you will come to a signpost for Ruta de la Glorietta at a wide rocky downward trail on the left. Follow this trail (yellow+white, sometimes yellow+pale blue trail markings) for about 350m more to a partly-broken wooden post gate. Immediately after the wood gate you will see some bolts on the wall to your left. This is Cova del Soldat.

Continue following Ruta de la Glorietta path downward, until you pass a river overlook on your right, followed shortly thereafter with a sign-posted trail going right/down to the river. After passing these landmarks start looking for a climber trail on your left ( it would be couple minutes still). The narrow trail is marked with a yellow and blue paint X, and scrambles steeply up the hillside to the left side of sector El Riu.

30-35 min total.
