JCMcHammyAnd apparently the first shall be last; this was our first day in El Chorro and, after an early morning start and checking in a The Olive Branch, we climbed at Las Encantadas on the road above. Lovely crag with a whole passle of great-looking routes I'd love to try. My camera-pointing skills were clearly still asleep, though; this is the only route I actually captured (almost!) all of... <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Climbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/SportClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LimestoneClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ElChorro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElChorro</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a>

JCMcHammyFinal day in El Chorro, second climb; the excellent (and longer than Tall People) route, Small People (6b). Considering how un-braining my brain was that day, this one felt really easy and flowy, which was nice. This crag section was in a little "sheltered" bay, theoretically in the lee of the wind. Apparently, though, the big hole in the sheltering rock about 10m up let the wind through to bounce of the crag and blow right in your face... weird! <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Climbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/SportClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LimestoneClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ElChorro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElChorro</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a>

JCMcHammy"And the last shall be...", Well, not first, but also not the last of the El Chorro vids despite being the last climb of the trip (I just be out here making reels as I come to them...). Thoroughly enjoyed the trip with gret company (thanks for the belay, Robin) and a fun climb, but my brain was definitely flagging by this point; behold the terrible footwork! <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Climbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/SportClimbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/LimestoneClimbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/ElChorro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElChorro</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a>

JCMcHammyThis one was still day 3 in El Chorro at Escalera Arabe and, in fact, came before Bladerunner (which was the last send of the day before trying to break myself toproping a 7a in failing light). This is just one of those lines you look at an think, "Oooo! Gotta give THAT a go!"...

JCMcHammyRather out of order as this was actually day 3 at Escalare Arabe, but Bladerunner was definitely one of the more striking lines we climbed in El Chorro. Lots of fun and pretty firmly in my style, but I imagine it would have been firmly "type 2 fun" if it had been at limit! (Loooong run-out and biiiig drop potential!)

mootParadoxNearing the end of our Spanish climbing trip. This was from yesterday, "Three Sixty", a 120m multipitch at Coral East not far from El Chorro. (So-called because of the 360° view that you're rewarded with from the summit ridgeline, and there's a fun abseil off the back!) This is my first experience of sport climbing, and it's been a lot of fun. I think I probably still prefer British Trad, but you can't argue with the weather! <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Climbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SportClimbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ElChorro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElChorro</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Spain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spain</a>
