GRAN CANARIA

Gran Canaria might be mostly known as a winter holiday destination for beach
lovers, but besides this the island has a lot to offer for climbers. There's
hundreds of of sport climbing routes, bouldering and trad which will easily fill
your days there! The highest point of the island lies at 1948m and the mountain
is very high in relation to its perimeter. This results in two very different
areas in terms of weather: the humid and windy North and the dry and calm South.
The climbing areas can be found in the North, South and middle of the island and
due to the relatively small size of the island it's possible to visit many
different crags during one trip. Nevertheless, it's good to check the crags you
want to visit prior booking your accommodation in order to optimise the driving
time. Gran Canaria suits climbers in all levels and the style varies from
vertical basalt walls with long fingery routes to overhangs with big pockets and
juggy ledges. When it comes to the season, during summer it might get too warm
for climbing but the island has almost bullet proof weather in winter. Rain is
rare and the temperatures stay pleasant at around 10-18 degrees. Gran Canaria is
also a great place for families. Especially areas like Sorrueada and Tamadaba
are fantastic for the whole family. There's also bouldering in the island, and
especially Mogan offers plenty of problems in different grades and styles.
You'll find the community topos of Mogan by typing the name in the search bar!
When having a rest from climbing there's plenty of other activities and
sightseeing to explore. To name a few, the island offers great opportunities for
mountain biking, surfing and hiking. From the main city, Las Palmas, you can
find some great restaurants and shopping malls, as well as climbing shops. If
you're into long sandy beaches, then the South is the best place to head to.
These topos are made by local climbers including Roque Lorenzo, Xerach Augusto,
Adrian Marrero, Iris Pasamón, Norberto Cabrera and Christian Fernández del
Valle. By using these topos you support the local climbing development and
(re-)bolting in Gran Canaria.

ATHENS

Looking for easily reachable world class climbing area that has still remained
undiscovered? Or maybe you're interested in versatile routes on limestone and
marble combined with possibility for city sightseeing and cultural activities?
Look no further. Athens area offers more than 1000 single pitch bolted lines in
more than 40 crags and new routes are constantly popping up. In addition there
are 4 multi pitch walls with trad lines, plenty of bouldering and a lot of
potential for deep water solo. Limestone in Athens comes in a surprising variety
of shapes and colors and can create climbing wonders ranging from sheer
desperate slabs to highly featured, tufa infested walls. Tufa climbing has a
strong presence in the area. In fact, the city’s best sport climbing crags can
certainly rival those of Kalymnos’ in tufa climbing goodness. Undisputed king
among the tufa kingdoms of Athens is the lost world of Mavrosouvala, a totally
otherworldly place in the middle of nowhere. The craziest thing about this
majestic stalactite forest is that very few Athenians actually know about its
existence. Tufas might be the hype of the era but the true uniqueness of Athens
climbing certainly lies on its 2000+ year old man-made marble quarries where the
ancient extraction scars are still visible. Apart from its antiquity, marble
climbing is very unique in its climbing kinesiology, forming an exceptional
mental and physical challenge. Despite its hardcore reputation, Athens has moved
forward into being into a climbing destination for all tastes and skills. Many
new crags boast a variety for easy routes for beginner climbers. These high
quality topos are made by local climber Georgios Chaziris, who's the co-author
of Athens Climbing Guidebook.

TAUTAVEL

Tautavel is a great place for Mediterranean-style rock climbing. It's not far
from Catalunya, so it feels a bit like it. You'll encounter a diverse range of
styles, from compact slabby limestone to challenging tufa routes and overhanging
climbs. The quality of the climbing is exceptional. Whether you're in the 6th or
7th grade, there's an abundance of routes to explore. Additionally, for those
seeking a challenge, there are approximately 50 climbs rated from 7c+ up to 8c+.
You'll find the equipment here is top-notch, similar to what you'd expect in
Spain. However, some older crags, like Vingrau, offer a more adventurous and
challenging bolting experience. For those with an adventurous spirit, Vingrau
also provides opportunities for multi-pitch climbing and trad climbing. While we
refer to it as the Tautavel area, it's essentially the Perpignan area, with
Tautavel at its heart. This charming village is nestled in a serene valley, only
30 minutes away from the sea. It's situated in the pre-Pyrenees, offering
breathtaking views of Le Canigou, the highest peak in the Eastern Pyrenees.
Tautavel is conveniently located for climbers, with sectors within walking
distance and others just a 10-30 minute drive away. The Rivesaltes Airport in
Perpignan is the closest airport, a mere 20-minute drive from Tautavel. If you
prefer to travel by train, Perpignan is the destination. For those coming by
car, take the A9 towards Spain and exit at Rivesaltes, a straightforward
20-minute drive to Tautavel. This area is incredibly family-friendly, offering
climbing grades suitable for climbers of all levels, making it an excellent
choice for families. Beyond climbing, there's a wealth of activities to enjoy.
Relax by the Gorges des Gouleyrous river within the valley, or venture to the
nearby sea (only 30 minutes away) for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and more.
Leucate's Téleski Nautiqe (45 minutes away) offers waterskiing and wakeboarding.
Fun water parks are also in close reach. For adventure seekers, Galamus offers
via ferrata and canyoning. You can even book these activities with Nico Rousson,
a local expert who is involved in bolting and inspections. Cultural enthusiasts
will appreciate visits to the prehistoric museum in Tautavel, exploring Medieval
villages like Villefranche-de-Conflent, and wine-tasting on rest days. Climbing
is possible throughout the year, with considerations for weather. Summers can
get hot, but there are north-facing climbs to provide respite. Winters can be
chilly, but many crags are south-facing. Spring and fall are often regarded as
the best seasons, but don't discount sunny winter days for excellent climbing
conditions. All your needs can be met in Tautavel and Vingrau, including
groceries, bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and more. You can find all the
essential information for your stay on the Tautavel website. If you require a
broader shopping experience, Claire, located just 20 minutes away, boasts a
shopping area with major retailers like Decathlon and Carrefour, along with
other international chains such as McDonald's, Burger King, and more.

CAPE TOWN

Western Cape, and it's climbing is spread over a vast area. From the wild Groot
Rivier and Old Forest Crags near Plettenberg Bay, right the way across the
province to the world-famous walls and boulders of Rocklands in the Cederberg.
The journey between the two spans some 600 kilometres and takes about eight
hours by road. Between these two areas lies a wealth of the most awesome
climbing one could wish to find. In the Cape Peninsula alone, we are spoilt by
having five-star cragging a mere stone’s throw away from the bustling heart of
the Mother City. An hour’s drive from Cape Town will take you to more scenic
crags like the beautiful granite domes of Paarl, the lonely and atmospheric
Hellfire Crags dwarfed by the huge Du Toit’s Peak massif, and the quartzitic
crags perched on a ridge above the seaside village of Kleinmond. Two hours from
Cape Town is the town of Montagu. Climbing was discovered here a few decades ago
and since then this little Breede River Valley town has grown to become the
undisputed epicentre of sport climbing in the Western Cape, and one of the most
popular destinations in the country. Montagu alone could keep most climbers busy
for half a lifetime. A few hours further up the road, you will discover SA’s
only limestone crag at Oudtshoorn – a beautiful, steep, scooped amphitheatre
dripping with tufas. Here you will find some of the country’s hardest routes. If
this isn’t enough, the Cederberg Mountains are located a mere two to three
hours’ drive up the west coast from Cape Town. To many, the Cederberg needs no
introduction, but for the few who have never experienced the magic of this
unique mountain kingdom, suffice to say that the Cederberg is one of those
special places that takes a hold of your soul and never lets go. Besides some of
the best trad climbing on the planet on remote red sandstone walls situated high
in the range, the Cederberg is also considered to be one of the top bouldering
destinations in the world. You will also find an array of world-class sport
climbing crags in this area. There is no question that the Western Cape is a
climber’s paradise that can be rivaled by few places on Earth, so pack your sack
and head out to sample some of the best climbing to be had. Topos and text by
local author Tony Lourens

MONTENEGRO

Montenegro is one of the beautiful Balkan countries with spectacular mountains,
medieval villages and pretty beaches along its Adriatic coastline. The country
has a huge potential for all types of climbing and it's getting more popular
each year. Montenegro is an excellent destination for climbers who are looking
to explore something new, appreciate easy logistics and like tufa climbing. When
considering its climate, relatively low prices, easy access to crags, still
unrevealed potential of routes and other activities besides climbing, Montenegro
is a truly attractive country for a climbing trip. The easy approaches makes it
also a good destination for families! The rock is good quality limestone and
even though tufas are the most prominent structure, it is possible to find a
good variety of styles including slabs, vertical walls, caves, overhang and
others. In addition to sport climbing Montenegro also offers bouldering, multi
pitch, trad and DWS. You can find more information about each sector from the
links below and all the topos of the existing crags in Montenegro will be soon
added. In addition these topos will stay up to date with the new routes and
sectors! The best season for climbing in the area are spring and fall. In the
summer, if the humidity is not too high, it is possible climb in the shade.
During the winter months, due to the increasing number of rainy days and high
potential for seepage from tufas, it's hard to find dry routes. When it comes to
culture, the cuisine of Montenegro is very rich and you can easily find a
variety of dishes in local places. During the summer months, the cities
alongside the Adriatic coastal line are always alive and offer a diverse social
life. The cities located on north, east and west parts of the country like
capital city Podgorica, Cetinje, Kolasin, Zabljak offer peaceful city life with
different opportunities from movie theatres and recreational activities to
hiking opportunities on the spectacular mountains of Montenegro. These topos are
made by a passionate local climber and developer Ersin Baş with the support of
Srdjan Lecic, Valentin Sattek, Joshua Cook, Jack Clarkson, Klemen Becan and Anja
Becan. Besides the topo's displayed on this page, have a look at Skaljari, which
is a great crag in the 7a-8b range. The crag and it's community topo's are
mainly developed by Joshua Cook .

MARGALEF

Margalef, situated in Tarragona, Spain, is a true conglomerate climbing
dreamland. The area has been rapidly growing since it was established about 20
years ago and currently covers more than 1 600 routes. Even though it's
especially known for super hard routes and sends, you're guaranteed to find
plenty of high quality routes also for beginners and intermediate climbers -
there's about 600 routes in 5th and 6th grade! The rock itself is conglomerate
often filled with pockets, and the area is surrounded by beautiful National Park
of Montsant. The best climbing seasons are spring and autumn, but when choosing
the shady routes it's possible to climb even in the summer! Margalef is also
great for families thanks to versatile routes, generally short approaches and
safe belaying areas. These amazing Premium topos have been made by Maya Ayupova
and Vicent Palau, who have tremendously contributed to the development of the
area since 2008 and are also authors of the Climbing Margalef Guidebook. They
have also all inclusive climbing holiday agency "Margalef Climb", find more

ALBARRACIN

Albarracín, also known as the "Spanish Fontainebleau", is a sandstone bouldering
paradise. Situated close to Teruel, in the middle of Madrid, Barcelona and
Valencia, it is easily reachable from many airports. The climbing is on high
quality red sandstone and offers a great amount of indoor style roofs and
overhangs. Besides these Albarracín offers different styles ranging from slabs
to some of the worlds hardest top outs! One could though say that a typical
Albarracín problem starts with a pockety roof and ends with a mantel on slopers.
Due to its unique location in 1200 meters above sea level, Albarracín has almost
bulletproof weather. It offers a very dry and coldish climate which suits
bouldering perfectly. In addition to climbing, the surroundings and the village
itself is a reason why many people travel here. Albarracín is also extremely
well suitable for families. Some areas maybe less because of the hike but many
areas are close to good paths. Bouldering close to one of the most beautiful
villages in the world on great sandstone can't be that terrible of a travel
choice? As in all the climbing areas, behaving correctly is crucial. No
littering, no climbing on wet rock, brush away all the tick marks and stay on
the obvious paths. In addition, it is forbidden to climb during the night in
Albarracín, so no headlamp sessions allowed.

ÅLAND

Åland (Ahvenanmaa in Finnish) islands are a gorgeous destination on the Baltic
Sea in between of Finland and Sweden. Åland provide world-class bouldering, a
little of rope climbing, and tons of activities for the rest days. Crags provide
spectacular views over the ocean and the rough island nature. The Åland islands
have three large boulder areas which could be called the classics:
Djupviksgrottorna, Fågelberget, and Kasviken. Djupviksgrottorna, or Grottan in
short, has big roofs, plenty of jugs and style in general is very similar to
indoor routes. The rock is red granite which gets a beautiful glowing colour
during sunset. The place provides fun and challenging routes for everyone from
first timers to very experienced climbers. Fågelberget is a seaside cliff with a
stunning view. It takes about an hour to hike there, but it's definitely worth
it. In general, the routes are more spread out than in other two main areas. The
rock quality is smooth. There are not that many routes for beginners, but the
area has great quality routes from 5+/6A onwards up to 8B+. Kasviken is a
forestry area providing a large concentration of hard routes. It has the
shortest access and during summer it usually stays cooler than other two crags.
These three, which are covered as Premium topos, will keep you busy for a long
time, but there's also several medium-sized and smaller crags which can be found
from as community topos. The season in Åland is often a bit longer compared to
the mainland of Finland as it tends to stay warmer and drier. The best and
driest period is spring (March-May) but you can often climb all the way until
October if you don't mind the warmer temperatures during summer and the bigger
chance for rain in the autumn. You can travel to Åland islands either by boat or
plane. It is quite cheap to bring your own car by boat and it's recommended as
it will make your life a lot easier because the public transportation is not
very good in the island. You can take a direct ferry to Åland’s capital
Mariehamn either from Helsinki, Turku, or Stockholm. There are several companies
and campgrounds providing rental cabins and places for a tent. The shops and
restaurants are easy to visit by car, but otherwise the distances are quite
long. Please be aware of ticks while in Åland. The season starts around April
May and lasts till the first night frosts. A large share of ticks carry diseases
in the Åland, but daily tick checks should keep you safe. While at rocks,
remember following: · Don’t block road while parking · Don’t walk too close to
houses or fields · Clean trashes and tick marks

ATHENS

Looking for easily reachable world class climbing area that has still remained
undiscovered? Or maybe you're interested in versatile routes on limestone and
marble combined with possibility for city sightseeing and cultural activities?
Look no further. Athens area offers more than 1000 single pitch bolted lines in
more than 40 crags and new routes are constantly popping up. In addition there
are 4 multi pitch walls with trad lines, plenty of bouldering and a lot of
potential for deep water solo. Limestone in Athens comes in a surprising variety
of shapes and colors and can create climbing wonders ranging from sheer
desperate slabs to highly featured, tufa infested walls. Tufa climbing has a
strong presence in the area. In fact, the city’s best sport climbing crags can
certainly rival those of Kalymnos’ in tufa climbing goodness. Undisputed king
among the tufa kingdoms of Athens is the lost world of Mavrosouvala, a totally
otherworldly place in the middle of nowhere. The craziest thing about this
majestic stalactite forest is that very few Athenians actually know about its
existence. Tufas might be the hype of the era but the true uniqueness of Athens
climbing certainly lies on its 2000+ year old man-made marble quarries where the
ancient extraction scars are still visible. Apart from its antiquity, marble
climbing is very unique in its climbing kinesiology, forming an exceptional
mental and physical challenge. Despite its hardcore reputation, Athens has moved
forward into being into a climbing destination for all tastes and skills. Many
new crags boast a variety for easy routes for beginner climbers. These high
quality topos are made by local climber Georgios Chaziris, who's the co-author
of Athens Climbing Guidebook.

TAUTAVEL

Tautavel is a great place for Mediterranean-style rock climbing. It's not far
from Catalunya, so it feels a bit like it. You'll encounter a diverse range of
styles, from compact slabby limestone to challenging tufa routes and overhanging
climbs. The quality of the climbing is exceptional. Whether you're in the 6th or
7th grade, there's an abundance of routes to explore. Additionally, for those
seeking a challenge, there are approximately 50 climbs rated from 7c+ up to 8c+.
You'll find the equipment here is top-notch, similar to what you'd expect in
Spain. However, some older crags, like Vingrau, offer a more adventurous and
challenging bolting experience. For those with an adventurous spirit, Vingrau
also provides opportunities for multi-pitch climbing and trad climbing. While we
refer to it as the Tautavel area, it's essentially the Perpignan area, with
Tautavel at its heart. This charming village is nestled in a serene valley, only
30 minutes away from the sea. It's situated in the pre-Pyrenees, offering
breathtaking views of Le Canigou, the highest peak in the Eastern Pyrenees.
Tautavel is conveniently located for climbers, with sectors within walking
distance and others just a 10-30 minute drive away. The Rivesaltes Airport in
Perpignan is the closest airport, a mere 20-minute drive from Tautavel. If you
prefer to travel by train, Perpignan is the destination. For those coming by
car, take the A9 towards Spain and exit at Rivesaltes, a straightforward
20-minute drive to Tautavel. This area is incredibly family-friendly, offering
climbing grades suitable for climbers of all levels, making it an excellent
choice for families. Beyond climbing, there's a wealth of activities to enjoy.
Relax by the Gorges des Gouleyrous river within the valley, or venture to the
nearby sea (only 30 minutes away) for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and more.
Leucate's Téleski Nautiqe (45 minutes away) offers waterskiing and wakeboarding.
Fun water parks are also in close reach. For adventure seekers, Galamus offers
via ferrata and canyoning. You can even book these activities with Nico Rousson,
a local expert who is involved in bolting and inspections. Cultural enthusiasts
will appreciate visits to the prehistoric museum in Tautavel, exploring Medieval
villages like Villefranche-de-Conflent, and wine-tasting on rest days. Climbing
is possible throughout the year, with considerations for weather. Summers can
get hot, but there are north-facing climbs to provide respite. Winters can be
chilly, but many crags are south-facing. Spring and fall are often regarded as
the best seasons, but don't discount sunny winter days for excellent climbing
conditions. All your needs can be met in Tautavel and Vingrau, including
groceries, bakeries, cafés, restaurants, and more. You can find all the
essential information for your stay on the Tautavel website. If you require a
broader shopping experience, Claire, located just 20 minutes away, boasts a
shopping area with major retailers like Decathlon and Carrefour, along with
other international chains such as McDonald's, Burger King, and more.

CAPE TOWN

Western Cape, and it's climbing is spread over a vast area. From the wild Groot
Rivier and Old Forest Crags near Plettenberg Bay, right the way across the
province to the world-famous walls and boulders of Rocklands in the Cederberg.
The journey between the two spans some 600 kilometres and takes about eight
hours by road. Between these two areas lies a wealth of the most awesome
climbing one could wish to find. In the Cape Peninsula alone, we are spoilt by
having five-star cragging a mere stone’s throw away from the bustling heart of
the Mother City. An hour’s drive from Cape Town will take you to more scenic
crags like the beautiful granite domes of Paarl, the lonely and atmospheric
Hellfire Crags dwarfed by the huge Du Toit’s Peak massif, and the quartzitic
crags perched on a ridge above the seaside village of Kleinmond. Two hours from
Cape Town is the town of Montagu. Climbing was discovered here a few decades ago
and since then this little Breede River Valley town has grown to become the
undisputed epicentre of sport climbing in the Western Cape, and one of the most
popular destinations in the country. Montagu alone could keep most climbers busy
for half a lifetime. A few hours further up the road, you will discover SA’s
only limestone crag at Oudtshoorn – a beautiful, steep, scooped amphitheatre
dripping with tufas. Here you will find some of the country’s hardest routes. If
this isn’t enough, the Cederberg Mountains are located a mere two to three
hours’ drive up the west coast from Cape Town. To many, the Cederberg needs no
introduction, but for the few who have never experienced the magic of this
unique mountain kingdom, suffice to say that the Cederberg is one of those
special places that takes a hold of your soul and never lets go. Besides some of
the best trad climbing on the planet on remote red sandstone walls situated high
in the range, the Cederberg is also considered to be one of the top bouldering
destinations in the world. You will also find an array of world-class sport
climbing crags in this area. There is no question that the Western Cape is a
climber’s paradise that can be rivaled by few places on Earth, so pack your sack
and head out to sample some of the best climbing to be had. Topos and text by
local author Tony Lourens

MONTENEGRO

Montenegro is one of the beautiful Balkan countries with spectacular mountains,
medieval villages and pretty beaches along its Adriatic coastline. The country
has a huge potential for all types of climbing and it's getting more popular
each year. Montenegro is an excellent destination for climbers who are looking
to explore something new, appreciate easy logistics and like tufa climbing. When
considering its climate, relatively low prices, easy access to crags, still
unrevealed potential of routes and other activities besides climbing, Montenegro
is a truly attractive country for a climbing trip. The easy approaches makes it
also a good destination for families! The rock is good quality limestone and
even though tufas are the most prominent structure, it is possible to find a
good variety of styles including slabs, vertical walls, caves, overhang and
others. In addition to sport climbing Montenegro also offers bouldering, multi
pitch, trad and DWS. You can find more information about each sector from the
links below and all the topos of the existing crags in Montenegro will be soon
added. In addition these topos will stay up to date with the new routes and
sectors! The best season for climbing in the area are spring and fall. In the
summer, if the humidity is not too high, it is possible climb in the shade.
During the winter months, due to the increasing number of rainy days and high
potential for seepage from tufas, it's hard to find dry routes. When it comes to
culture, the cuisine of Montenegro is very rich and you can easily find a
variety of dishes in local places. During the summer months, the cities
alongside the Adriatic coastal line are always alive and offer a diverse social
life. The cities located on north, east and west parts of the country like
capital city Podgorica, Cetinje, Kolasin, Zabljak offer peaceful city life with
different opportunities from movie theatres and recreational activities to
hiking opportunities on the spectacular mountains of Montenegro. These topos are
made by a passionate local climber and developer Ersin Baş with the support of
Srdjan Lecic, Valentin Sattek, Joshua Cook, Jack Clarkson, Klemen Becan and Anja
Becan. Besides the topo's displayed on this page, have a look at Skaljari, which
is a great crag in the 7a-8b range. The crag and it's community topo's are
mainly developed by Joshua Cook .

MARGALEF

Margalef, situated in Tarragona, Spain, is a true conglomerate climbing
dreamland. The area has been rapidly growing since it was established about 20
years ago and currently covers more than 1 600 routes. Even though it's
especially known for super hard routes and sends, you're guaranteed to find
plenty of high quality routes also for beginners and intermediate climbers -
there's about 600 routes in 5th and 6th grade! The rock itself is conglomerate
often filled with pockets, and the area is surrounded by beautiful National Park
of Montsant. The best climbing seasons are spring and autumn, but when choosing
the shady routes it's possible to climb even in the summer! Margalef is also
great for families thanks to versatile routes, generally short approaches and
safe belaying areas. These amazing Premium topos have been made by Maya Ayupova
and Vicent Palau, who have tremendously contributed to the development of the
area since 2008 and are also authors of the Climbing Margalef Guidebook. They
have also all inclusive climbing holiday agency "Margalef Climb", find more

ALBARRACIN

Albarracín, also known as the "Spanish Fontainebleau", is a sandstone bouldering
paradise. Situated close to Teruel, in the middle of Madrid, Barcelona and
Valencia, it is easily reachable from many airports. The climbing is on high
quality red sandstone and offers a great amount of indoor style roofs and
overhangs. Besides these Albarracín offers different styles ranging from slabs
to some of the worlds hardest top outs! One could though say that a typical
Albarracín problem starts with a pockety roof and ends with a mantel on slopers.
Due to its unique location in 1200 meters above sea level, Albarracín has almost
bulletproof weather. It offers a very dry and coldish climate which suits
bouldering perfectly. In addition to climbing, the surroundings and the village
itself is a reason why many people travel here. Albarracín is also extremely
well suitable for families. Some areas maybe less because of the hike but many
areas are close to good paths. Bouldering close to one of the most beautiful
villages in the world on great sandstone can't be that terrible of a travel
choice? As in all the climbing areas, behaving correctly is crucial. No
littering, no climbing on wet rock, brush away all the tick marks and stay on
the obvious paths. In addition, it is forbidden to climb during the night in
Albarracín, so no headlamp sessions allowed.

ÅLAND

Åland (Ahvenanmaa in Finnish) islands are a gorgeous destination on the Baltic
Sea in between of Finland and Sweden. Åland provide world-class bouldering, a
little of rope climbing, and tons of activities for the rest days. Crags provide
spectacular views over the ocean and the rough island nature. The Åland islands
have three large boulder areas which could be called the classics:
Djupviksgrottorna, Fågelberget, and Kasviken. Djupviksgrottorna, or Grottan in
short, has big roofs, plenty of jugs and style in general is very similar to
indoor routes. The rock is red granite which gets a beautiful glowing colour
during sunset. The place provides fun and challenging routes for everyone from
first timers to very experienced climbers. Fågelberget is a seaside cliff with a
stunning view. It takes about an hour to hike there, but it's definitely worth
it. In general, the routes are more spread out than in other two main areas. The
rock quality is smooth. There are not that many routes for beginners, but the
area has great quality routes from 5+/6A onwards up to 8B+. Kasviken is a
forestry area providing a large concentration of hard routes. It has the
shortest access and during summer it usually stays cooler than other two crags.
These three, which are covered as Premium topos, will keep you busy for a long
time, but there's also several medium-sized and smaller crags which can be found
from as community topos. The season in Åland is often a bit longer compared to
the mainland of Finland as it tends to stay warmer and drier. The best and
driest period is spring (March-May) but you can often climb all the way until
October if you don't mind the warmer temperatures during summer and the bigger
chance for rain in the autumn. You can travel to Åland islands either by boat or
plane. It is quite cheap to bring your own car by boat and it's recommended as
it will make your life a lot easier because the public transportation is not
very good in the island. You can take a direct ferry to Åland’s capital
Mariehamn either from Helsinki, Turku, or Stockholm. There are several companies
and campgrounds providing rental cabins and places for a tent. The shops and
restaurants are easy to visit by car, but otherwise the distances are quite
long. Please be aware of ticks while in Åland. The season starts around April
May and lasts till the first night frosts. A large share of ticks carry diseases
in the Åland, but daily tick checks should keep you safe. While at rocks,
remember following: · Don’t block road while parking · Don’t walk too close to
houses or fields · Clean trashes and tick marks

GRAN CANARIA

Gran Canaria might be mostly known as a winter holiday destination for beach
lovers, but besides this the island has a lot to offer for climbers. There's
hundreds of of sport climbing routes, bouldering and trad which will easily fill
your days there! The highest point of the island lies at 1948m and the mountain
is very high in relation to its perimeter. This results in two very different
areas in terms of weather: the humid and windy North and the dry and calm South.
The climbing areas can be found in the North, South and middle of the island and
due to the relatively small size of the island it's possible to visit many
different crags during one trip. Nevertheless, it's good to check the crags you
want to visit prior booking your accommodation in order to optimise the driving
time. Gran Canaria suits climbers in all levels and the style varies from
vertical basalt walls with long fingery routes to overhangs with big pockets and
juggy ledges. When it comes to the season, during summer it might get too warm
for climbing but the island has almost bullet proof weather in winter. Rain is
rare and the temperatures stay pleasant at around 10-18 degrees. Gran Canaria is
also a great place for families. Especially areas like Sorrueada and Tamadaba
are fantastic for the whole family. There's also bouldering in the island, and
especially Mogan offers plenty of problems in different grades and styles.
You'll find the community topos of Mogan by typing the name in the search bar!
When having a rest from climbing there's plenty of other activities and
sightseeing to explore. To name a few, the island offers great opportunities for
mountain biking, surfing and hiking. From the main city, Las Palmas, you can
find some great restaurants and shopping malls, as well as climbing shops. If
you're into long sandy beaches, then the South is the best place to head to.
These topos are made by local climbers including Roque Lorenzo, Xerach Augusto,
Adrian Marrero, Iris Pasamón, Norberto Cabrera and Christian Fernández del
Valle. By using these topos you support the local climbing development and
(re-)bolting in Gran Canaria.

popular destinations in the country. Montagu alone could keep most climbers busy
for half a lifetime. A few hours further up the road, you will discover SA’s
only limestone crag at Oudtshoorn – a beautiful, steep, scooped amphitheatre
dripping with tufas. Here you will find some of the country’s hardest routes. If
this isn’t enough, the Cederberg Mountains are located a mere two to three
hours’ drive up the west coast from Cape Town. To many, the Cederberg needs no
introduction, but for the few who have never experienced the magic of this
unique mountain kingdom, suffice to say that the Cederberg is one of those
special places that takes a hold of your soul and never lets go. Besides some of
the best trad climbing on the planet on remote red sandstone walls situated high
in the range, the Cederberg is also considered to be one of the top bouldering
destinations in the world. You will also find an array of world-class sport
climbing crags in this area. There is no question that the Western Cape is a
climber’s paradise that can be rivaled by few places on Earth, so pack your sack
and head out to sample some of the best climbing to be had. Topos and text by
local author Tony Lourens

MONTENEGRO

Montenegro is one of the beautiful Balkan countries with spectacular mountains,
medieval villages and pretty beaches along its Adriatic coastline. The country
has a huge potential for all types of climbing and it's getting more popular
each year. Montenegro is an excellent destination for climbers who are looking
to explore something new, appreciate easy logistics and like tufa climbing. When
considering its climate, relatively low prices, easy access to crags, still
unrevealed potential of routes and other activities besides climbing, Montenegro
is a truly attractive country for a climbing trip. The easy approaches makes it
also a good destination for families! The rock is good quality limestone and
even though tufas are the most prominent structure, it is possible to find a
good variety of styles including slabs, vertical walls, caves, overhang and
others. In addition to sport climbing Montenegro also offers bouldering, multi
pitch, trad and DWS. You can find more information about each sector from the
links below and all the topos of the existing crags in Montenegro will be soon
added. In addition these topos will stay up to date with the new routes and
sectors! The best season for climbing in the area are spring and fall. In the
summer, if the humidity is not too high, it is possible climb in the shade.
During the winter months, due to the increasing number of rainy days and high
potential for seepage from tufas, it's hard to find dry routes. When it comes to
culture, the cuisine of Montenegro is very rich and you can easily find a
variety of dishes in local places. During the summer months, the cities
alongside the Adriatic coastal line are always alive and offer a diverse social
life. The cities located on north, east and west parts of the country like
capital city Podgorica, Cetinje, Kolasin, Zabljak offer peaceful city life with
different opportunities from movie theatres and recreational activities to
hiking opportunities on the spectacular mountains of Montenegro. These topos are
made by a passionate local climber and developer Ersin Baş with the support of
Srdjan Lecic, Valentin Sattek, Joshua Cook, Jack Clarkson, Klemen Becan and Anja
Becan. Besides the topo's displayed on this page, have a look at Skaljari, which
is a great crag in the 7a-8b range. The crag and it's community topo's are
mainly developed by Joshua Cook .

dreamland. The area has been rapidly growing since it was established about 20
years ago and currently covers more than 1 600 routes. Even though it's
especially known for super hard routes and sends, you're guaranteed to find
plenty of high quality routes also for beginners and intermediate climbers -
there's about 600 routes in 5th and 6th grade! The rock itself is conglomerate
often filled with pockets, and the area is surrounded by beautiful National Park

ALBARRACIN

Albarracín, also known as the "Spanish Fontainebleau", is a sandstone bouldering
paradise. Situated close to Teruel, in the middle of Madrid, Barcelona and
Valencia, it is easily reachable from many airports. The climbing is on high
quality red sandstone and offers a great amount of indoor style roofs and
overhangs. Besides these Albarracín offers different styles ranging from slabs
to some of the worlds hardest top outs! One could though say that a typical
Albarracín problem starts with a pockety roof and ends with a mantel on slopers.
Due to its unique location in 1200 meters above sea level, Albarracín has almost
bulletproof weather. It offers a very dry and coldish climate which suits
bouldering perfectly. In addition to climbing, the surroundings and the village
itself is a reason why many people travel here. Albarracín is also extremely
well suitable for families. Some areas maybe less because of the hike but many
areas are close to good paths. Bouldering close to one of the most beautiful
villages in the world on great sandstone can't be that terrible of a travel
choice? As in all the climbing areas, behaving correctly is crucial. No
littering, no climbing on wet rock, brush away all the tick marks and stay on
the obvious paths. In addition, it is forbidden to climb during the night in
Albarracín, so no headlamp sessions allowed.

ÅLAND

Åland (Ahvenanmaa in Finnish) islands are a gorgeous destination on the Baltic
Sea in between of Finland and Sweden. Åland provide world-class bouldering, a
little of rope climbing, and tons of activities for the rest days. Crags provide
spectacular views over the ocean and the rough island nature. The Åland islands
have three large boulder areas which could be called the classics:
Djupviksgrottorna, Fågelberget, and Kasviken. Djupviksgrottorna, or Grottan in
short, has big roofs, plenty of jugs and style in general is very similar to
indoor routes. The rock is red granite which gets a beautiful glowing colour
during sunset. The place provides fun and challenging routes for everyone from
first timers to very experienced climbers. Fågelberget is a seaside cliff with a
stunning view. It takes about an hour to hike there, but it's definitely worth
it. In general, the routes are more spread out than in other two main areas. The
rock quality is smooth. There are not that many routes for beginners, but the
area has great quality routes from 5+/6A onwards up to 8B+. Kasviken is a
forestry area providing a large concentration of hard routes. It has the
shortest access and during summer it usually stays cooler than other two crags.
These three, which are covered as Premium topos, will keep you busy for a long
time, but there's also several medium-sized and smaller crags which can be found
from as community topos. The season in Åland is often a bit longer compared to
the mainland of Finland as it tends to stay warmer and drier. The best and
driest period is spring (March-May) but you can often climb all the way until
October if you don't mind the warmer temperatures during summer and the bigger
chance for rain in the autumn. You can travel to Åland islands either by boat or
plane. It is quite cheap to bring your own car by boat and it's recommended as
it will make your life a lot easier because the public transportation is not
very good in the island. You can take a direct ferry to Åland’s capital
Mariehamn either from Helsinki, Turku, or Stockholm. There are several companies
and campgrounds providing rental cabins and places for a tent. The shops and
restaurants are easy to visit by car, but otherwise the distances are quite
long. Please be aware of ticks while in Åland. The season starts around April
May and lasts till the first night frosts. A large share of ticks carry diseases
in the Åland, but daily tick checks should keep you safe. While at rocks,
remember following: · Don’t block road while parking · Don’t walk too close to
houses or fields · Clean trashes and tick marks
