José Miguel, who is from Sella, has set up and developed many of the bolted climbs and sectors in the Sella valley. He has also climbed and developed new routes in Morocco, South Africa, Namibia, Algeria, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

Costa Blanca Extra Special Classic Climbs

We have picked three of what are, in our opinion, the most popular trad climbs of the region. These activity days are aimed at climbers grade 5+ who would like to do a special climb with a fully qualified and experienced climbing guide and not have to worry about route finding, having the right gear or the descent. You can concentrate on enjoying the rock, the magnificent views, the solitude and atmosphere of beautiful limestone walls.

The Divino

The Peña de Sella is the mountain range that soars above the village of Sella and at the eastern end is the 1116 metre wall that is the Divino. With its multi pitch routes and divine view, it is easily the most impressive bit of rock in Sella, sitting majestically above the rest and waiting for those who demand just a little bit more from their climbing.

Technical Details:

Routes: Amor de Odio and Espolón Pertemba

Grades: HVS/5+ and HVS/5

The Mascarat Gorge is the dramatic split in the Bernia Ridge just south of Calpe. This rather strange and atmospheric setting has some spectacular mountain routes. Years ago, this would have been a truly magnificent place full of natural beauty. Now, this gorge has an `A’ road, a motorway and a railway running through it. Strangely enough, this adds its own special interest to the routes. Sitting above a dual carriageway which disappears into a tunnel while belaying your partner is a unique and unforgettable experience! As you ascend into the vertical world, there are fantastic views; the Peñon d´Ifach to the north and the Benidorm skyline to the south. Featured as one of Rockfax´s top 50 climbs.

Route: Llobet Bertomeu

Grade: HVS/5+

The Peñon d´Ifach

This is the most striking landmark in the whole of the Costa Blanca – a huge lump of limestone rock towering 332 metres out of the sea. The incredible setting of this mountain makes it a must for any climber visiting the area. It offers long multi-pitch routes, easy access and descent.  Try it - you won´t be disappointed and the view from the top really has to be seen to be believed. Once again, featured as one of Rockfax´s top 50 climbs.
