Peñon de Ifach is by far one of the most beautiful crags in Spain. Everything is about finding yourself climbing 335m over the sea in a high quality rock that let you to enjoy every single movement. Depending on the route protection can make you freak out so just make sure the route chosen isn´t it over-expose and check  if any extra gear such as Friends or stoppers are needed before climbing. Remember that water can be as important as your Harness in this wall. Highly recommended start climbing at the break of day. 

One more time, My older brother and I setted off to Alicante looking for a new adventure. As usual, we decided the destination ones we were on the road. " what do you feel like? Riglos? ohh noo, It might be cold...What about Cuenca? really?what about something taller and bigger? Ok, Peñon de ifach...here we go!

That what I was talking about, Keep in mind that humity can rust the protection so you better be aware that good looking protection will be only found in the sport routes. Obviously any of them are gonna fail but your mind could play you if you are not ready for it. 

One of the advantage of climbing over here is that as soon as you get higher the views are better and better. Trust me if I tell you that once you are up there every single movement must be thought for a while not only because of the difficulty but also for the space. 

My brother Borja went though this part of the route in his particular way.

 

Nearly summit.
