Roca dels Ulls — "New" sector in Sant Llorenç de Montgai

Albert Cortés has resurrected an ancient sector in Sant Llorenç de Montgai, completely transforming it. Roca dels Ulls, which lies on the hillside immediately above the village, was actually the first sector to be equipped in the whole zone, but with only three routes protected with just two buriles each and no lower-offs, it soon fell into disuse.

Now, thanks to Albert's efforts, the sector features 8 climbs equipped with modern bolts and lower-offs and although somewhat lacking in height (maximum 10m) it boasts superb rock, a comfortable 'peu de via' and minimum approach time.
