We tried in vain to find a path up to the sector called 'Formigaz' this morning up al Cavallers. Like a few of the places in the Pyrenees, I don't think many climbers are visiting certain areas. However, there are plenty of cliffs at Cavallers that are easy to get to, so we changed plans and continued on to the big granite slab called Placa Xalmat. It's about 80m high, so the views up the valley from the stances were great.
It was a different (for the better) style of climbing here. Lots of small edges and crimps to stand on and even a few crack line to hand jam your way up.
It's shady until lunchtime and also a lot more sheltered from the strong winds that blow up the valley. Perfect climbing temperatures and well bolted, interesting climbs.
Cavallers - Placa Xalmat:
- Arfonzopenco, 6a**
- Afrohouse, 5b
- Continiaćion, 5b**
- Mjelva, 5c
- Chapa jom, 6a+**
