Siurana Beta

(1/3) > >>

James Malloch:
Flicking through the Tarragona Climbs guide, it looks like a lot of Siurana crags have drops, narrow belay spots, fixed ropes etc to get to them.

Are there any good options which are more dog friendly? Would be good to be able to play between attempts, not worry about him running off a drop etc.

We also prefer nice spacious crag bases in general. Climbing is fine but get a bit of vertigo with some drops…

SA Chris:
You mean options of other climbing spots in the region or which crags around Siurana would be OK?

Ah sorry. We’re hoping to go to the Siurana valley itself. But the guide we have doesn’t make it that clear which sectors might be suitable (maybe the local definitive might be better).

Arboli would be broadly fine with a dog, including El Falco which is great. Its the best crag in Siurana for vert 7s even if it isn't quite in Siurana.

It's been ages since I've been but from memory it may be difficult to find what you're after  :-\

Can Piqui Pugui, one of the 'marquee' sectors, where Anabolica is has difficult access as in you have to scramble down a short but narrow and steep rocky section. I don't remember there being anywhere to run around at the bottom of the crag as it's enclosed by trees and vegetation.

El Pati and L'Olla offer easier access and more space at the bottom of the crags but there are substantial drops from the platforms.

I haven't climbed at Siuranella (opposite El Pati) but it looks to have little area at the base with an even longer drop.

I had the old local guide (crag diagrams with green and orange graphics from what I remember ;D) and it was basic as in you couldn't get a feel for spaciousness or crag suitability but maybe the current one has a crag selection table or provides more detail? If you can it might be worth popping into a shop to have a browse of the current definitive guide to see what you think.

Having said all that there will obviously have been plenty of people there with dogs so it's doable but maybe comes down to personal preference  :thumbsup:
