Resubmitted because I accidentally chopped the old one...upgraded to 14a - broken holds

the gran boveda at Rodellar,routes up to 120 feet high, easiest 7b+ and only one of those, Coliseum 8a takes the left of center groove/crack line, overhangs 75' in 120

Shady mid-day hangout with brilliant namesake 12c route as main attraction

Described to me by area developer Carlos Logrono as the best route at Rodellar, this route is 120' tall and overhangs the base by 75', my proudest send in Europe (so far)

Across the valley from Siurana is this tall south facing cliff, good selection of routes

Your basic cookiecutter tract house in Siurana, with the usual medieval fortifications to keep out the rif-raf

The view of Mont Sant from the town of Siurana.........

The orange-streaked walls on the left are overhanging, super high quality pocketed limestone, 1/2 hour from Barcelona with a 30 min. hike, if you're into 80-100' high enduro pocket climbing, don't miss it. Did a 12b there called Discordia that goes up the fatty orange streak that I swear is one of the best routes I've ever done.

Ben getting ready to hike up to the Raco de Misa, the wall on the left, a stout 20 minute uphill trudge, like 1/3 of the hike to Ceuse...this is home to the famous Hidrophobia 14a that Katie Brown and Tommy Caldwell flashed, also home to the even more awesome Els Elements 14a, both of which have been onsighted in the same day by 2 different guys, Ramonet and E. Marin... an incredible crag with a great selection of routes from 6c to 8b+
