With another extra weeks holiday to take before August we took the opportunity to visit Catalunya staying in the campsite at Siurana. Famous for its stern grades we were a bit apprehensive! The rockfax guide was limited and although the Siurana guidebook from the campsite was more comprehensive it was the worst guidebook I've ever seen-so it was a case of climbing which ever crags we came across to start with! There was little choice but to leave the egos at the airport and we opted to just get on routes that looked nice rather than chasing hard grades, especially with the temperatures often above 30 degrees C. Despite much lower grades than we would normally get on the bolting was at times terrifying, but most of the rock was great.
