Hi All, I will be spending part of November and December travelling around the Iberian Peninsula and looking to climb along the way. I will be arriving in Barcelona Nov 12th, will likely stay there several days visiting some friends and hopefully do some climbing, then I plan to head south, following the coast, no set itinerary, maybe make my way through Valencia, Alicante/Murcia, Malaga/El Chorro, Morocco?, Rocha da Pena, Lisbon, etc. Open to suggestions, If you plan to be in these areas or nearby, let me know!

I will have all my personal gear, 60m rope, rental car and all gear necessary for sport climbing.

I currently lead 5.9/5.10a, follow 5.10s. Single or multi-pitch. Safe belayer. My goal is to climb some awesome, fun routes with dramatic/beautiful settings, not terribly concerned with projecting routes or ticking particular grades.

Thanks!

Hey Bill,

Awesome, fun routes sounds pretty great. I'm going to be in Spain for the next couple weeks I think, and then I have to get out of the Schengan zone for a bit for visa stuff. Turkey and Morocco have been my two ideas. I was leaning toward Turkey, but mostly for ease of finding a climbing partner. How interested are you in Morocco/when about do you think you'd be making it down that way?

Gradewise, I'm probably about the same as you on trad, but a little higher on sport I think. Though I haven't been climbing with US grades for a while, so it's all a bit of guesswork.
