Level 19 On Ipods Electrical Box

Part 2: Focus on Levante: Change of plans


The plan has changed, but we are thinking up 6 walls within 7 days and the following is the Ponotch. To do this, day 5, we left our hostel early, saying goodbye to Tintin, we decided to go down further south and parked there. After an approximate 30 minutes, we reached the foot of the longest route of the merger. A combination of two tracks and Space Travel of Valencia, giving a total length of 500m 6b with some long, some very delicate plates, some crashes and some dihedral force technicians were the presentation of a road that would take us all day and got it without any unless unexpected accumulation of fatigue from the previous days, which requires Chema to use "brown kit" by getting to go through some areas through the use of the nail. Finally, after many long get up to "the lion's head down", appreciating unique landscapes. The day ends and night begins. We gotta get out of there, and it begins with finding the rappels, so we get down to work and after completion of the night they present, by the way walk to the van hardly see. Now we have to decide where we rest today and the best place, after searching several, is San Joan d'Alacant, Iñaki a recommended hotel very comfortable and good benefits, parking, comfort, heating, personal service and a delicious breakfast. As is well known, the rest is one of the key parts for sports performance, and on 6 decided to rest and we want to do an active rest. found the perfect place to do some sport routes in the Cabeçó, with appropriate level to climb and rest. The plan was just twisting because of the rain, and not cease until the afternoon, so we can not perform the activity and rest will be complete. Because of this forced hiatus, we decided to invest time in learning the material used in aid climbing in theory and seeing the "gadgets" that Juanjo us, the idea is a way of artificial climbing the last day of stay in Alicante, I called Relentless, but that story must wait for the day begins ... 7, we see that Spain is virtually snow, and Alicante no less. The tops of the peaks we climb are all white, but still decided to undertake journey to the Cabeçó, because the rain had stopped and wanted to climb on and off. Once there and after walking about ten minutes we understand that it is impossible to climb in that area, because the cold is very present and suffer a lot, so again we are in doubt, Are we going to the hotel? What we do business? Are we going somewhere else? Suddenly we think the Rock of Ifach be without snow because of its proximity to the sea, and temperatures would be more regulated, so finally we just climbing a route Sencillito because we went on the road quite late, about 12:30 pm and we had to run to keep dark. The Dihedral UBSA is our choice, a mythical rock track with a grade of V +, but with a twist of 6a + we decided to make. Semiequipada route is longer, because in the middle of it, we must make a rappel and navigate to the joint meeting with Costa Blanca to continue climbing to the summit. Because of this choice, the main plan is turning quite important, and we can only top 3 of the walls raised, but the last day was our jewel with which to redeem us, the Wish is seeking passage, and after reaching the time to look at the hotel the next morning and prepare the material. "Tomorrow the sun rises Juanjooo !!!"...
