Sella

Sorry for the drought in blog updates! The weather has been treating us well, so we haven't had many days to catch up on news updates.

We have been in Sella (Costa Blanca) for just over a week and met a lovely couple from Bristol (Simon and Lucy). It has been great spending time with them, we've had lots of fun and really enjoyed climbing projects with them. Simon and I have been working a route in the Wild Side and Claire and Lucy and been sending routes in the sun (see other updates)!

Sella is a great spot in the mountains about 30 mins inland from Benidorm (not so lovely). There is a good range of routes from technical slabs through to amazing, pumpy and steep tufa routes. I've not been that impressed with Sella on previous trips - mainly due to bad experiences on the very well travelled, and hideously polished, 6a, 6a+ and 6b routes. However, on this visit we have discovered lots of great routes in the upper 6's and 7's.

Hi there Jason and Claire,

We're really enjoying your sunny updates here, whilst weathering the weather here in our little north facing cottage high in the Peaks! I read out some of your suitable posts to the kids - they're confused by the green Jason!!

Keep up the good work

Cheers
Steph and Noel
