Sant Llorenc de Montgai

Since we left Barcelona late, we decided to check out Sant Llorenc de Montgai on our way up to Terradets.  We scouted this area out a few days earlier and were excited to check out the steep, brown caves at the top of the hill.

The right cave.

Another view.

The amazing view.  Arguably better than the climbing.

Here are some shots from the day.  Ted on Patiasso al Pallaso 7c+.  I never complain about polished routes, but this route is slimy!  Looks way better than it climbs- probably because I am a sucker for tufas.

This climber really, really, really likes brushes!  Four brushes held to his chalkbag by the elastic from an old pair of underwear.

The frustratingly crowded left cave.  Why aren't these people at Terradets?

Unknown Spanish climber on Montse la Traviesa 7c.

Tired of waiting for the good routes, Ted got on this crumbly 7c.

Of course, there was poop everywhere.  This was directly below the route Ted is trying above.

Although we had fun and were glad we explored another crag, we all agreed that our time would have been better spent at Terradets.  However, if this was in Boulder, we would shamelessly climb there.
