There is a tram that goes up to the monastery. It links up to the train. There is a train station directly behind where this photo was taken.

The South face of the Cavall Bernat is literally just the tip of the iceberg. The intimidating NE face extends for several hundred feet below the horizon.

Shirley nearing the top of pitch 5 of the Punsola-Reniu route (6c or 6a A0) on Cavall-Bernat tower.

Some short sport routes along "The Stairs" approach to the Gorros.

The NW end of the Park from the summit of Gorro Frigi.

L'Elefant (the one that looks like an elephant) and La Momia offer long, warm slab climbs near the Monastery.

Agulles: West part of Montserrat, lots of spires (agulles) with hundreds of routes

This photo shows the St Joan Funicular (in the center) and the two stations. The Santa Cova Funicular goes the wrong way (down the hill). You want the hidden St Joan Funicular (the smaller looking building just below center).

A typical route of Agulles (Laponia, well bolted), one can see the conglomerate, with small cobblestones...

The absolutely stunning monastery of Montserrat, peep the beautiful cobble behind the building.

The rock of Montserrat is high-quality cobblestone conglomerate.

Panxa del Bisbe offers sunny moderates.

An all English language guide for the area. It's not the best guide book due to the lack of to scale maps and maps without directional arrows but one gets use to its idiosyncracies. Have to appreciate the flowery language too.

Great Map 1:5000 on one side, 1:10,000 on the other

In English - a small book Only Trad climbs

In Spanish Only Sant Benet area
