Routes in Racó de Missa

A 70m rope is just enough to lower off the top to the re-threading anchor then, after re-threading, just enough to lower off to the ground. Tie a knot in the end!

Grading is a guess! Route is not in the guidebook.

This and the next 3 routes have a shared start at the left end of a raised ledge, above a fixed hand rope, starting with a rung/staple.

Marked with blue paint. Stick clip advisable, it’s insecure at the grade to the high-ish 1st bolt. The hangers on the top are missing. The lowering anchor is now at about 38m, perfect for a 70m rope.

Starts in the right facing corner/crack feature, before stepping out right onto the face.

Shares the first 5 or so bolts with 'Nanses del priorat'.

Starts just left of an intermittent fissure.

The next 3 routes have shade until about 10.30 AM.

First pitch 7a. The first 7 bolted at Montsant, around the year 2000 amazingly enough.

A 70m rope is just enough to lower off, but no less. This and the next 10 routes have shade until about 11.15 AM.

New second pitch to La Babaria going left after the first belay finishing under the roof.

First pitch 7c

Toni

First pitch 8a+

First pitch 8a

28m 8a to first anchor. The first 8 done in Montsant. Shade until 2 PM.

First pitch 8a+. Mariona

Possibly the hardest trad climb in Catalunya. Requires tricams, C3s, very large cams, etc. Some important placements are not obvious.

Starts up the steep black flake about 10m R of the major vegetated crack/chimney.

The L-trending black streaks up the middle of the shady steep wall. Start as for the earlier 7c.

Would be the best route at many crags but around here it never gets done.

Reportedly could do with another bolt but looks amazing despite the lack of ascents.

Starts up the white corner/flake on the R end of the shady steep wall. Not sure if goes to the top or maybe it will get an anchor at around the 30m mark. Estimated around the 7a+/b mark during bolting.

The leaning white wall 5m R of White Proj for 25m, onto a 15m 'slab', to an incredible steeper 20m headwall.

1. 30m 6b+. The grey face to a stance. 2) 15m 7c. This pitch starts up the impressive leaning headwall but unfortunately only makes it part of the way.

Monster single pitch on vertical shady wall 100m R of Hidrofobia (50m R of the steep shady wall). Start on high perch in corner approached via 8m knotted rope, then drift R up the endless wall forever on unlimited pockets. Shade until 6 PM or later. Needs a 70m rope & a re-thread on descent.
