Aaron, Jason and I have been camping and climbing in Terradets for about a week now. Terradets is in the Catalunya region of Spain within sight of the Pyrenees mountains and the French border. The main attraction here is the Bruixes crag which is a mere 10 minutes from the campsite. The cliff is 25-35 meters tall and stacked with routes in the 7b-8a realm. The first few days I found myself climbing hesitantly and a bit overwhelmed by the length and amount of climbing found on the routes. Over the last couple of days I've relaxed and all the training this past winter seems to be paying off. Today I sent two of the most different routes I've ever sent in a day. One was an extremely bouldery 7c and the other a 7c+ of pure endurance for 35 meters capped by a crux boulder problem right at the anchor. I'm sooo psyched to have sent both and expecially the 7c+
energia positiva. I feel like I've figured out how to relax and recover on these long routes and am psyched to get on more of them.
The climbing is situated in a beautiful location with seemingly endless limestone cliffs of every size. We're planning on staying here for a while and possibly going to check out Margalef which I climbed at last year a bit. I'm really excited to develop some endurance here and take that to El Chorro in a couple weeks! I can't wait!
Here are some photos!
