ABDET CLIMBING UPDATES 2024

Most routes on Jabali Sector have been cleaned and given new lower-offs in better postions and with two separate rings on chains for a smooth rope run. Most of the routes are named with nice little aluminium name tags!

Many thanks to Rockfax for a donation of 500 Euros towards the rebolting!

The new Arcoiris Sector is proving popular and has routes of 4,5 and 6 on a butress to the right of the Jabali sector. The routes are colour coded so easy to follow and locate!

On the main crag most of the routes from Almendro Pinnacle to Flare Corner have been cleaned/rebolted. Some of the routes such as San Miguel now have almost double the number of bolts and so are far less serious a proposition. Cerdo and Jingebre have had a lot of cleaning and more bolts making them much more enjoyable. The three "big" routes on the Almendra pinnacle, La Atracción, Via Almendra, and Solo en Espacio are now a great proposition with new lower offs, vegetation removed and extra bolts.

On Abdet Pillar there is a great new two pitch grade 5 - Camino Celestial. Vista de Baranco de Abdet has more bolts and a new belay and the approach has been gardened!

The Puig Campana which boasts classic mountain routes of all grades is only 40 minutes drive away. The crags around Sax and Alcoy are all within one hours drive. In fact just about all the venues featured in the Costa Blanca Rockfax main area are within 60 minutes drive time. There are also several Via Ferrata in the area

Climbing is possible all year, even on the mountain crags. In summer, although the heat around midday can be fierce, climbing on North facing crags is very pleasant as the humidity is usually very low. It's also possible to climb morning and evening even on South facing crags. Midday can be spent at one of the fantastic local pools or you could even do one of the classic local canyon trips .
