English Oracle: November 2010
http://allend66.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A little bit of England in Maspujols. Monday, November 29, 2010. La Mussara - Primitiu - Polux, 6a, 70m. Well, after a hearty breakfast ( la Fiesta de Aceite, Maspujols) we warm up on Alabama's. 5 ) Almost perfect weather for climbing except for the wind at the top of the routes. The cold means you don't sweat and the adhesion is excellent. After the warm up we do Laia. 6a is a little conservative, but only difficult on the lower section. After Laia, we head over to the right-hand side and I open Polux.

A little bit of England in Maspujols. Sunday, March 20, 2011. 2011-03-19 Arbolí – Racó de L’Emmanuelle – Various. So cold and windy where we parked the car, we descend to the playground – and remove T-shirts! Start off with a nice 6a – Upri-Refu. Another onsight, the 25-meter Dos Pedres. Nice Now something a little longer – Taraf! 29-meter 6b, also onsighted. An absolutely beautiful route. Next up the filthy Cirano De Priorat. Last climb of the day, the excellent Matsutake. 8211; my first 7a lead.

A little bit of England in Maspujols. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Can Marges Abaix, a quick 5 (by mistake) to warm up on Tahona. I thought I was on a 6a Picapins. Which I also got diverted on the top section – D’Oh! Well, better luck at Can Marges Adalt, the rather nifty 6a Cos Que Cao. OK, playtime over, now to work a little. Marc and I have had our eyes on this good looking route just before Can Parasit. Guidebook says it’s 6c. There’s always. Of chalk on it so it looks popular. 6a I flash Ateva. Going ba...

A little bit of England in Maspujols. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. 2011-03-29 Arbolí – Can Simiro. It’s been a couple of years since I strutted my stuff at. So high time for a revisit. I’ve been pining for another dance on Esperó. And Alegro Me Non Troppo. Two great routes that I managed to flash after working for a while – let’s see if I remember the moves. 4 then followed it with En Braulies. Maurici onsighted the 5 and then the 5 Possa ‘t La Samarra. Well, warmed up we have a look at Esperó.

English Oracle: September 2010
http://allend66.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A little bit of England in Maspujols. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. La Mussara - Lo Soterrani - Various. This remains one of, if not, my favourite sectors. Quality rock, plenty of great routes, good length, and because of the approach, it doesn't get too crowded. Though the approach is a bit of a pain. or more acurately, the ascent to the car after climbing. Still, a great venue for winter climbing, it has the sun most of the day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Quite a long 1st pitch -35m giving this view from the belay:. 1º largo es bastante largo -35m dando esta vista desde la reunión:.

English Oracle: 2011-03-28 La Mussara – Follet
http://allend66.blogspot.com/2011/03/2011-03-28-la-mussara-follet.html
A little bit of England in Maspujols. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. 2011-03-28 La Mussara – Follet. Time to tick a few more routes, this time sector. And the super-polished Astarax. 5 This was once a nice route but unfortunately tens of thousands of climbers have shined up some of the holds to near mirror-like finish. Then we onsight the hardest 6a I’ve ever climbed, Sara. Immediately to the right. Again polished and very thin. And the classic La Primera D’Estiu. Another good day. Picasa web album here.

English Oracle: February 2011

A little bit of England in Maspujols. Monday, February 28, 2011. 2011-02-27 Arbolí – El Cremat. Awesome weather – more shirtless climbing, and a little sunburn too at Arboli’s south-facing El Cremat. From left: Terra Mitica. 5 Then onto some roof action, 6a Anorexia. Two 6a onsights, Xicarro. Both with great roof problems. Glad to say as well that the rock is a lot cleaner now – before there were a lot of breakages, hold and chunks falling of the face, but it’s pretty stable now. Picassa web photo album.
