4000 routes (up to 9a) in 56 areas, located in Alicante and south of Valencia The Costa Blanca region is a true climbing El Dorado. The number of climbing areas and routes as well as the variety of climbing is simply incredible. The spectrum ranges from perfectly established single pitches and multi-pitches directly by the sea to alpine climbing in the hinterland of the coast.The climbing guide Costa Blanca Climbs is limited to sport climbing areas and summarizes the current state of all areas from Gandia in the north to Orihuela in the south.Although locally the development of existing areas or the opening of new ones no longer has the dynamism of earlier times, the revision of the climbing routes developed in the region, which is now available, was urgently needed. Spread over 56 areas, there are currently more than 4000 routes. The routes described are mostly well established single pitches, really long routes are not found in this guide.The climbing guide is very clearly structured and offers really every necessary information.Introductory, all areas are characterized in detail in their specificity. This is followed by warnings, information on recommended seasons, detailed descriptions of the sometimes not always easy access to sensible parking options, access descriptions and access sketches including parking options (GPS coordinates via QR codes).In pictogram form, there is then information on access time, wall foot, child friendliness, climbing style, wall slope, wall height, orientation, cell phone reception!!, sun exposure / time, ...The topos are drawn in very well readable throughout on partly large-format color photographs.Overall, a maximally content-rich and yet clearly designed climbing guide. 648 pageslanguage spanish, englishedition 2025R.

There are well over 100 first-class sport climbing areas on sun-drenched rock in a very small area.Roca España Costa Blanca Volume North describes 40 sport climbing areas from Calpe in the south to Castellón de la Plana in the north. Volume South has been announced for 2016, which will then be dedicated to the areas further south.Since the 1980s, the areas around Calpe have been popular destinations when climbing has been out of the question for weeks in cold northern Europe. One of the most popular destinations is the Sierra de Toix with over 200 routes. Those who prefer something more alpine will find exposed multi-pitch routes on the striking Peñon de Ifach.

The southern volume covers the areas from Calpe in the north to Orihuela in the south and the entire hinterland as far as Alcoy. It also presents two climbing areas close to the border in the northern province of Murcia.After the success of the "Costa Blanca North" climbing guidebook, many climbers have had to wait a long time for the southern volume of the Costa Blanca. The initial research began in the fall of 2012 and took a long time. After the storm of the century in winter 2017, the authors visited almost all areas again and checked, corrected and added many routes and details.As in the northern volume, they also tried to present unknown and unpublished climbing areas in the southern volume. Let's start the tour in the extreme southwest near Orihuela. In the Sierra de Orihuela, they describe the three unknown areas of Sudamérica, Vallecito and Pirámide. Further east, the authors turn their attention to the well-known sport climbing sectors near Redován and Callosa de Segura. In Vinalopo, they show the current status and present the new Rincón Bello area, which was created with the support of the LoboPlus Bolt Fund.And in the far north, they present the Serra de Bèrnia, Altea and Mascart near Calpe. Not only the extreme climber, but also the pleasure climber and beginner will find many destinations and suggestions in this climbing guide, and not just for a vacation.They have once again been able to improve the climbing guide in several crucial details. Using new photo and drone technology, they have succeeded for the first time in creating a climbing guide in which all routes can be shown in detailed photos. They have further improved and supplemented their tried-and-tested pictograms. In addition, they rate access and access by car with a uniform color code that provides information about the difficulty of access. The exit parking spaces can be reached using precise GPS data. Alternatively, a parking lot QR code is available that can be scanned with a cell phone. All sectors have GPS data, and detailed access maps at different scales make orientation much easier. The text is trilingual throughout in German, Spanish and English.448 pagesLanguage German, Spanish, EnglishEdition 2018S. WagenhalsLoboPlus
