Santa Linya - Cova Gran

Cova Gran is one of the most important hard sport climbing crags in the world. Certainly if the density of one pitch hard routes is the measure, it takes a lot of beating. There are 20 or so routes of 9a and above. The climbs here start at 7b, where its nearby neighbour Futbolin stops. The crag itself is set in a very peaceful location (kids and families apart) and although south facing the size of the cave means that much of it is usually in the shade, and certainly late in the day. Many of the routes have in situ karabiners. Be aware that some of these have been in use a long time, and that at other crags climbers have died when the sharp edges have cut the rope. If you see a quick draw in a bad condition, please replace it, it is a small price to pay for so many excellent routes. There are many more routes than shown on the topo here.
