We arrived in Alicante to clear blue skies and sun kissed rock, after sorting our accomodation in Calpe Andy and I had a great afternoon at the super accessible crag at Toix Oeste. On Sat Kat and I went to Echo Valley and climbed a couple of trad routes on Castillo before breaking for coffee and finishing with a route at Toix on the way home. Andy and I headed to the Penon de Ifach climbing Direct de UBSA, it is worth noting that we found lots of nesting birds on this route and any other easier angled routes on this section of cliff. So stick to the steep routes to avoid being attacked. Monday was stormy and rainy so we hid from the weather the good weather was back on Tuesday Kat and I headed to the Puig Campana climbing the superb Espolon de Finistrat, it was so good I went back and climbed it again with Andy the next day. Kat and I finished the week climbing at Sella.
