Climbing information for many areas exists only in the local language. This is where I put English translations of topo sheets from trips, with the original alongside.
Plenty of good climbing has little or nothing written about it in English — the route information sits in Catalan, Spanish, Italian or French topo sheets that most visitors can’t read. So, where I’ve used them, I translate them.
Each entry keeps the original route names, grades, protection details and line notes exactly as printed, with the original sheet alongside it. Download the English PDF for the full route, or open the original to see it in context. Entries are added as trips happen.

A fun, well-protected sport line on the west face, climbing the panel to the left of El Kraken. Four pitches plus a short approach scramble, on varied, pocketed rock up to 6b (obligatory 6a). Fully bolted — 11 quickdraws. West-facing, so it’s a good target for warmer mornings.

Despite the name, this is essentially slab climbing — only the final pitch is true dihedral. A continuous, accessible 130 m at grade V across four pitches, semi-equipped with bolts and one piton (7 quickdraws). A pleasant step up from the neighbouring Funció Clorofíl·lica.
Route-finding note: at the time of our ascent, the bolts on the third pitch weren’t found — so route-finding may be difficult.
