Santa Ana left bank
Santa Ana is a major climbing area next to the large dam of the river Noguera Ribagorcana which forms the Santa Ana reservoir. The river acts as the border between Catalonia and Aragon. The true left bank of the river has climbing on excellent, rough limestone with two distinct cliffs. The Agulles Cara offers wall and slab climbing, with the additional attraction of getting to the summit of a detached pinnacle. It's south face gets the sun all day. The left hand side of Paret del Vent is in the shade in the morning and provides several mid grade slab and wall climbs. By contrast the right hand side has several very hard test pieces.
