CADE, AGULLA DEL CENTENAR

La vía C.A.D.E. a la Agulla del Centenar es una de las grandes clásicas de la geografía Montserratina.

La vía CADE a la Agulla del Centenar fue abierta en el año 1974 por Emili Albir, Joan Badia, Josep Lalueza i Ramon Masats y es sin dudas una de las vías más clásicas de la cara norte de Montserrat. Escalada atlética sobre diedros y fisuras prácticamente des-equipados que nos invita a una jornada de aventura en la montaña mágica. 

Se encuentra en una zona muy sombría de Montserrat por lo cual es una vía ideal para los meses de calor, aunque también se debe mencionar que es un sitio bastante humedo y en pleno verano se siente en bochorno. Los primeros 20/30 mts del primer largo, son un poco de tramite tirando de cintas, o al menos para mi que prefiero no arriesgar a caer sobre estos buriles de hace 50 años. Creo que en libre la vía sale en 7b. Si prefieres tirar de cintas tendras que escalar al menos tramos de 5+/6a. Una vez superado este largo, la vía se convierte en una fiesta de diedros y fisuras a proteger. cabe destacar el segundo y el cuarto largo. Realmente muy bonitos.

Aproximación

Desde el parking de Can Macana sigue las indicaciones al refugio Vicenc Barbera. Una vez pasada la valla de madera tienes un camino muy marcada que sale a la derecha y otro a la izquierda. Seguir el de la izquierda dirección a la Cadireta. Pasada la Cadireta, unos 400 metros encontramos un camino ascendente a mano derecha que lleva al Coll del Porc, seguir este camino hasta tener la pared muy cerca. Llegaremos a una intersección con un camino que va a la derecha y otro a la izquierda. Ir a la izquierda 50 mts y encontraras un pequeño corredor descompuesto que sube hacia la pared. Cerca de la pared debes empezar a desviarte hacia la derecha y bordear la pared. Encontraras una cuerda fija a un árbol, seguir unos metros mas y estas a pies de vía. 

Descenso

Desde la cumbre se puede hacer un corto rapel o bajar destrepando por una canal hacía la cara sur. Una vez abajo buscamos unas marcas azules y las seguimos hacia la derecha ( el camino asciende inicialmente). Seguimos estas marcas hasta llegar a la canal ampla. Desde este punto bajar al refugio Vicenc Barbera y seguir el camino bien marcado hasta el parking de Can Maçana. 

Conclusión

Una vía imprescindible para los amantes de las fisuras y la escalada clásica. La roca es bastante buena con excepción de algunos tramos específicos. Super recomendable.

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable experience. Santi is unique when it comes to sharing his GREAT knowledge in the world of climbing. In addition, he fully adjusted the session to suit our needs, knowing at every moment when we could give a little more of ourselves. Thank you so much for a great day!

First of all, I want to thank Santi - our rock climbing guide - for an excellent teaching!!⚡️
He was consistent, attentive to our strengths and weaknesses, inspiring confidence and really professional (technically and psychologically)!
I finally overcome my fear of lead rope climbing which followed me for a long long time… A friend of mine had his first time real rock climbing and now he already knows both types (lead and top) of climbing and belaying!🤯
And it hasn't felt like a boring studying with a tired of all this annoying tourists instructor. Santi was behaving not just as a mentor, but also as a friend of us🤝🏻
Hope to climb together one day again✨🏔️

Santi is the best climbing guide you can imagine. As a reference, we two are 6a-7a climbers, but we wanted a local guide to help maximize efficiency in a foreign area. He was highly recommended to us by a friend who Santi guided a few months back, and he was as wonderful as described. He takes his role as Guide seriously and comprehensively, from helping you plan ideas for areas to concentrate on, considerations of weather and season, logistics for where to stay and how to get there (he picked us up one day, and we met him in our car another), as well as making himself available to help with any other questions or needs for the trip as a whole (not just the climbing part). Our long chain of detailed texts show how dedicated and sincere he is in wanting to help plan the best trip possible for you. This was highly unique, unexpected, above and beyond, and much appreciated. Before you've even met, he treats you more like a friend coming to visit Spain than a client that he is just doing business with, and that warmth goes a long way and sets him apart from most any other guide I've experienced (i've had great guides in my life, so this just reinforces Santi's particularly special character). Like I really felt like we were friends, and still feel like we are, as he reaches out and keeps in touch still and I really appreciate that relationship. Humanity, sincerity, and kindness in business--what a crazy (wonderful) concept! As a climbing guide specifically: he is consummately professional, impressively knowledgable and safe, as well as comfortingly sensitive to your climbing abilities and needs, and tailors each day with climbs that are perfect for you--if you want to be comfortable or if you want a little/big challenge, if you want to experience highlights of an area by switching up crags in the same day. He knows the areas so well and of course knows how to choose the walls that are in the shade or in the sun for whatever time of day or season you are climbing. There is so much variety and fun for either multi or single pitch too. In addition, when we were all climbed out for the day, he took the opportunity to show us the beauty of the local areas, playing also a photographer and travel guide. He also went home to let us borrow his guide book to other areas that we were headed to later, and kept in touch to make sure the rest of our trip went smoothly. So nice! Here is a person who treats his job as a climbing guide and ambassador for the area with such deep consideration and earnestness, and who treats his role as a human being with exceptional kindness and faith. We are so grateful that he came into our lives as a climbing guide and as a friend. Thank you Santi for being you, and please everyone call him now for any guiding adventures (he travels to guide too!) Also, his rates are so fair and reasonable. And you will be so happy if he is available to take you on an adventure with him! Cheers!

My goal coming to Spain was to get out for a couple days rock climbing with my family. I’m a fairly accomplished climber but the mechanics of trying to take the family out on my own. Mariano our guide was the perfect example of what a guide should be, he was quick to set up and take down the climbs, had the perfect eye for challenging but achievable routes for the family, was friendly, great with the kids, a just an all around good guy. I can’t recommend this company enough, and am already planning my return trip to Spain to climb with them.

This was, without a doubt, an incredible climbing experience - and all because we hired Santi of SouthClimb in Barcelona. He was kind, helpful, considerate, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made this an awesome day of multi-pitch climbing at Montserrat. Highly highly highly recommend him!!!!👍🤗🤩
