Description

A Fortaleza de Sagres é um grande promontório com inúmeras áreas de escalada e uma infinidade de grandes rotas comerciais. A maioria das subidas exige abordagens individuais de rapel; algumas áreas (por exemplo, Novo Reduto) podem ser praticadas em rapel e, em seguida, múltiplas subidas feitas a partir do mesmo sistema de saliências.

Os Topos para todas as áreas estão disponíveis para copiar na pasta do bar Dromedario, na rua principal de Sagres.

Fortaleza de Sagres is a large headland with number of climbing areas with a plethora of great trad routes. Most climbs require individual abseil approaches; a few areas (e.g. New Redoubt) can be abseiled into and then multiple climbs done from the same ledge system.

Topos for all areas are available to copy from the folder in the Dromedario bar on the main street in Sagres.

Access issues inherited from Sagres

All areas are contained in the natural park (PNSACV) where climbing is forbidden.

Officialy since 2011 it's not legaly allowed to climb at Sagres Clifs. But since the park rangers are only 2 to square up all the National Park area, probably there would be no problems. Some of the bolts are getting rusty and might pop out, so always be carefull when coming down the routes (specially in Armação Nova, Foz dos Fornos and Corgas). Not adviced to climb in Parede Grande of Armação Nova (but belay points have new bolts). Recently almost all the routes in Parede Pequena at Armação Nova, Foz dos Fornos and in Corgas sector were rebolted with titanium glue in's (check out and support the portuguese project "Titan" at http://climbingpt.com/titan-project/the-problem/).
