Camarasa Parking

1) This affects sectors El Solarium, La Cova de L'Escaleta, El Túnel and Mongetae. In Lleida Climbs 3 we mention "limited parking" on the dam wall for these four sectors. However, there is now a 'no parking' signpost in this 3 car slot and fines are being handed out for offenders. The only option now remains the main parking areas beyond the second tunnel.

2) Due to the current Covid 19 crisis (?) the access road leading to the Hydroelectric plant has been temporarily gated, meaning the parking areas (P1 to P4 in Lleida Climbs) for all the lower sectors — Marcant Estil, La Pera, Fashion, La Selva, etc., etc., are currently unavailable. The only option now is to park on the bend on the eastern side of the Pont de Pastor road bridge and walk the rest of the way.

3) Sector Crestes de Conill North: due to the current Covid 19 crisis (?) the access road leading to the parking area for this sector (P6 in Lleida Climbs 3) is temporarily gated. One can either park on the bend on the eastern side of the Pont de Pastor road bridge and walk the rest of the way or (better) use the parking area for Crestes de Conill South and approach from there.

Note: In addition to the above notifications, Camarasa seems to have recently become extremely popular with none-climbing visitors, meaning parking places rapidly fill up at weekends and bank holidays.

Sector La Cantera

Juan Gutiérrez has passed on a topo of a recently equipped sector in Sant Llorenç de Montgai, which we had previously been unaware of. The sector is named 'La Cantera' and is perfect for summer mornings and early afternoons — the sun only reaches it at 5pm. Here is Juan's topo.

Route number 3 has now been climbed and is 8a+. Route number 8 is 7a+.

Santa Linya — Barranc de Fontfreda

When Lleida Climbs 3rd edition was released in 2019, the majority of the recently equipped routes at sector Barranc de Fontfreda remained unclimbed. Now, only two of the fourteen routes still await free ascents. The latest grades are as follows:
