Any rock climbers out there? I've only rock climbed in Murcia, I know there is great rock climbing in Catalunya/Catalonia (Montserrat) and Galecia, but I wanted to hear stories from anyone who's rock climbed anywhere in Spain.

i don't know yet, but as soon as i get to madrid i plan to find some good climbing. i will ask my cooworkers that are already there and get back to you. i will also be looking for climbing partners as soon as i get there. (october 2005)

I know there is a lot of climbing in Spain. How good is your Spanish? I might be able to find climbing partners for you. Do you trad or sport climb?

I know near nothing about rock climbing, but I know it's done at La Pedriza, in the sierra not far from Madrid, down the road from Manzanares el Real, and not far from El Escorial, either. A search may bring more information about it. (Great hiking in la Pedriza, too!)

Here I climb at a local gym, traditional belay style, and I go bouldering with friends mostly. When I get to Spain, hopefully in Sept. of this year, I plan to get out and explore. I would love to find climbing partners, and I am open to whatever they want to try. I am not that good, but I love to try.
