Ali Baba

International > Europe > Spain > Aragon > Rodellar > Mascun

Description

This short wall and cave is home to some of the hardest "routes" in the world, they start as boulder problems in the back of the cave and link into routes that are 5.14 by them selves and at times extend the finish of those routes into routes further along the wall.

Everything in the cave is 5.14 or harder. The wall to the right of the cave has 4 short routes the right two of which share a finish that involves using a scary block that appears to not be attached to the wall and sounds hollow.

Getting There

Head down to the Bikini cliff and across the river. You will need to head down stream a little which you may want to do before crossing. There are a few small caves down here near the river, Ali Baba is the one that has a deep cave on the left and an overhung wall on the right.
