Good rocks and vibes in a dream setting!
This wall is located on the southern face of Santa Quiteria, an enormous wall that basically reaches the banks of Canelles Reservoir. It is found in relaxing surroundings with breathtaking views of the reservoir.
There are currently five excellent climbing routes on the far-left side of the wall:
- Hernández-Rovira Ridge, 300 m, 6a+/Ae.
- Arista Oeste, 115 m, 6a (V oblig.).
- Ibone, 90 m, 6b (6a oblig.).
- Fetén, 95 m, 6b (V+ oblig.).
- Super-Fetén, 110 m, 6b+ (V+ oblig.).
Access
To reach Hernández-Rovira Ridge, leave the mountain refuge and head towards Santa Quiteria Hermitage along the same path that takes you to Urquiza-Olmo Ridge. Once you reach a wide hill, head right to reach the large canal that separates the two summits.
In order to reach the rest of the routes, you can either follow a circular trail from the mountain refuge and then heading up to Santa Quiteria Hermitage once you’ve finished the climbing routes, or, if you have a 4×4 vehicle, take the trail that goes down to the reservoir and park just before the long right-hand turn which has clear views of the wall. Here there’s a sign that indicates the start of a small trail that takes you to the start of the route.
You can find reviews of the climbs and a range of guidebooks on the area for sale at the mountain refuge.
