Our annual Costa Blanca trips have become something of a tradition and its not too late for you to get involved this year.
Not sure? Well how does this sound……………
The Costa Blanca area has a wealth of quality limestone climbing and this trip takes in some of the best sport climbing along with an ascent of the awesome Costa landmark, the Puig Campana. Taking the ‘Espolon Central’ route, 1500 ft of top quality HS grade climbing over 14 pitches leads to the summit of this beautiful peak. Once at the top we get amazing views of the surrounding mountains and coastline.
We spend a day honing your skills on one of the many sport climbing crags on the first day before tackling the Puig Campana on day 2. This leaves us a final day to fit in some more sport climbing before flying home in the evening. We base ourselves in Finestrat at a Casa Rural where you will enjoy comfortable accommodation with a swimming pool, lounge and kitchen.
We have space on the trips running between December 14th and Thursday 17th and Thursday 17th and Sunday 20th. For the first dates we will fly out in the late afternoon of Monday, spend a day at Sella on Tuesday, tackle the Puig Campana on Wednesday and have a final day at somewhere like the Toix sea cliffs on Thursday before an evening flight back to Blighty. The second dates involve flying late afternoon on Thursday, visiting Sella on Friday, Puig Campana on Saturday and Toix followed by return flight on Sunday.
The cost for the trip is even better value this year with all costs (except flights and food) covered for £390. Manchester to Alicante flights with Monarch are currently only about £55 return (with all taxes) and for food there are options to either eat out or use the kitchen at the accommodation. We will be staying at The Orange House which is a legendary climbers base and more details of what is on offer can be found on their website at www.orangehouseclimbing.com. Car hire, any equipment and all instruction are included in the price.
