This is my friend Pavliku from CZ during a rock trip.Taken by Fillip.

a nice day in spain in january, a time when snowflakes are falling at home... 8a...

... del chorro... awesome place to be! had a great time also at the camino del rey ; )

A view of the waterfall and Camino del Rey at El Chorro. I don't think I'd belay from something that rickety. Like most postcards, the enormous electrical facility to the right has been left out of the photo. Bring earplugs to get any sleep while you're there!

Some thin edges on the lower part of this route make it interesting.

Butty's by the river after a stroll down the gorge then a bit of hot slab.

Someone would go to prison for bolting this route in Blighty!!

Wishing someone had left a few draws clipped and checking out the pendulum.

Listen to the bongos drift up from the squat below and climb towards the vultures, circling.

Craig delicately positions his dainty feet before launching up another 6b move.

What you doin' Jonny? Aaah ,just hangin' around!

Kaj reaches the end of his first 7a+ lead and some thank god handjams to remind him of home!

Kaj dipping for the camera on the last day before flying home to a grey wet Yorkshire. 25/11/05.

Who else has seen the dancing dog? Jonny samples Las Encantadas on his way home.

A freak shower, the only one in 5 days, made the crux a little more exciting!

El Chorro never seizes to amaze with its natural beauty, not to mention its hundreds of amazing routes.

A fun climb only a short walk away from the hostel (that doesnt include walking through leaking train tunnels). Taken by a crazy californian named Adrien we met in Madrid.

Otra toma del mismo bloque, a ver si esta vez se ve bien. No es un paso duro, solo me gusto la foto y la colgue...

Un techo muy interesante, se pude uno dar la caña que quiera, son unos 10 a 15 metros o mas, donde puedes currartelo...

Little brown baby, 5.11d. Really beatiful, but so far no luck - a bit above my level too. But If you visit el chorro, you should go for it.

This tiny tooth sticks up in front of the headwall at escalera. the rotuer on it are 5.3 and 5.8, but the exposure is unbelieveable. And makes for a great photo op.

johnnym on the first ascent of Mitad Hombre Mitad Galleta (Half Man Half Biscuit) 5.10d/5.11a (E5 5c - no gear) back in about '93. I had no conception of what the locals thought of "the crazy Brits" - there was quite a crowd around when I started up the route. At the lower off, I looked round only to find the locals had fled, not wanting to see a Brit dive headfirst onto the very hard floor. Who needs bolts anyway ...sheeeeesh!!!
