Llega el invierno y apetece escalar al sol. Os dejamos tres sectores imprescindibles de Margalef para escalar a gusto en los días más fríos del año.
El otoño empieza a tocar a su fin. Las horas de luz disminuyen y las temperaturas cada vez nos acercan más al invierno. Es el momento de buscar las caras sur, la roca caliente. Es el momento de escalar al sol.
Margalef es una de las escuelas de escalada de la provincia de Tarragona con más vías equipadas. Ya son más de 1.400. Y lo mejor es que encontraremos dificultades para todos los niveles. Además, esta zona de escalada de la comarca del Priorat cuenta con multitud de sectores orientados a sur, así que podremos disfrutar de la escalada invernal en su plenitud, aprovechando al máximo los rayos del astro rey.
Recopilamos la información de tres sectores recomendados en Margalef para escalar al sol.
Can Torxa es un sector localizado en la zona del pantano de Margalef. Se encuentra a pie de carretera, así que la aproximación se convierte en casi inexistente desde el aparcamiento. Las vías son verticales, con una roca de calidad excelente. Es un sector ideal para escaladores que se muevan en el sexto grado. Actualmente cuenta con más de 20 vías equipadas.
El sol entra en la pared a partir de las 8 h de la mañana y se esconde hacia las 16h, así que en invierno disfrutaremos de casi el total de horas de luz para escalar en Can Torxa.
Se conoce popularmente como Espadelles a todo el conjunto de sectores que conforman en Cingle d’Espadelles. El muro se divide en siete sectores en total: Racó de les Espadelles, La Mainadera, Soledad, Cova del Cavall, Espadelles Extension, Bonavista y Bombo Taronja. A estos siete sectores de pueden añadir Punta Espadelles y el Totxo de les Espadelles. Hay que tener en cuenta que en Punta Espadelles el sol solo está presente hasta mediodía, en el resto tendremos horas de luz y nos calentarán los rayos solares desde la salida hasta la puesta.
La diversidad de grados es muy amplia en Espadelles. Pueden escalar desde los novenogradistas, pasando por los que prueban vías de séptimo grado y hasta los que se encuentran cómodos en las vías de sexto y quinto. Nadie se quedará sin vías en este excelente muro de Margalef, quizás el más famoso de la zona.
Camí de l’Ermita
El Camí de l’Ermita es uno de los sectores de escalada de invierno por excelencia en Margalef. Además, las vistas desde el pie de vía son de las mejores en la zona. Localizado al lado de la pequeña ermita de Sant Salvador, disfrutaremos de la inmensidad del Barranc de Sant Salvador.
El sector tiene un pie de vía cómodo y la aproximación desde el aparcamiento es rápida. En menos de 10 minutos estaremos listos para empezar a escalar. El Camí de l’Ermita cuenta con más de 20 vías equipadas, la mayoría de sexto grado, y la media de altura de éstas está entre los 20 y los 25 metros. En invierno el sol está presente desde que sale hasta que se pone.
Siguiendo el muro a la derecha tenemos los sectores El Balcó de l’Ermita y Caberenet, ambos con grados más exigentes.

(Translated by Google) Hilario and I turned to SouthClimb to do a long route in Montserrat. In our case, Santiago made us an excellent guide, we recommend him and above all we will repeat the experience. He makes you feel very safe and comfortable on the wall, he explains all kinds of details, both safety and technical details of the track, he is an expert in it. Days before, he gives you all kinds of details and information, adjusting the time of the activity and the necessary material very well. Just thank him and encourage everyone who wants to discover similar experiences, he is a great person.

I august we did a multi pitch course with SouthClimb. Great quality instructor and climbing gear !
Santi cared about my overall experience in Spain as much as providing me a great climbing experience. Since I am an experienced climber, Santi encouraged me to climb hard at the same time as keeping safety top of mind. You cannot ask for a better guide.
I had a great experience today climbing with Giordano in Garraf! Just driving to the location was beautiful and the views once you reached the top were spectacular! I felt very safe with my instructor and he balanced making sure I had fun with safety, which you could tell was his priority. He was so encouraging throughout my climbs and made me feel good about what capabilities I had. I will be looking into taking a course with southclimb now and would recommend them to others. Santi was exceptional with communication on WhatsApp and made the entire process very smooth and simple. Thank you!
Great experience!!! Santi is a professional guide, he has a lot of experience and explains very well, patient. The course was very complete and great as a new experience,..
Beginner’s course in rope climbing with Sol was the best! Sol is super professional and patient and everything is done in humor and good atmosphere. We feel ready to go out and climb! Santi helped us with all the logistics and made it really easy and comfortable to get started. 10/10 experience we will definitely come back for more of Southclimb.
(Translated by Google) We spent a great day learning to climb in very good company and in spectacular surroundings. Santi is a magnificent professional and knows how to convey the beauty of this sport to you. Looking forward to repeat!
(Original) Pasamos un gran día aprendiendo a escalar en muy buena compañia y en un entorno espectacular. Santi es un magnífico profesional y sabe transmitirte la belleza de este deporte. Con muchas ganas de repetir!
Santi was the most amazing guide. As a first time climber, he made me feel super safe and confident on the climb. It was so much fun and an afternoon I will remember for a long time. Honestly cannot recommend enough 😊
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!
