The mighty Siurana…
in winter…. means no T-shirt!
First route – Els Fenicis, 6a, tough going, but onsighted.
Next route Quinta! 6a (6b in old guidebook). It’s long, has a roof problem, but it’s nice. Red-point it next time.
Next to mop up the previously abandoned 6a Els Fenicis. It has a slightly overhanging reachy move early on. I didn’t think this was a 6a move so went on to onsight the 6a+ next to it. All the routes in this new guide are “conservative” in their grades.
Next up the awesome Faktoria 6a+ (6b in old guide). Very pumpy with a couple of overhanging bulges to get over, this is long, sustained, scary.
Marc then onsights the humbling 6b+ Pupilas (6c). Kudos – I try it top-roped and miss the last third because I’m pumped and exhausted. We finish up a great day in Corral Nou Cami with a couple of crappy 6a’s- Maximal and Trinafro that aren’t worth bothering with.
