Sella - Hidden Valley, Wild Side
One of the best crags in the area, if you climb 7b and above. Long, steep routes up to 40m in length. Wild side is nearly always in the shade, which coupled with the altitude means that it can be cold in winter, although the routes will keep you warm. It is steep, and sheltered from the rain.
FInd the village of Sella, about 25km north of Benidorm. Just before entering the village from the South, at a left turning hairpin, turn right and follow this road for about 4km to the refuge and main crags of Sella. Continue past the climbing, taking a right fork that leads over a shallow col into a second valley. Keep following the dirt track to a sharp right hand bend, where the crag is just visible up to the left on the right sand of the valley. About 2km from the refuge. Park here and reach the crag in about 10 minutes walking.
Sport and bolted routes
| Topo Ref | Route | Sport Grade | Length | Quality | Description | Tick |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | Reina Madra | 6c+ | 25m | The easiest route on the crag is inevitably very polished. Climb past a sling to strenuous moves left and back right using hidden holds |
 |
|
| 49 | Llanuras bélicas | 7b | 25m | *** | An excellent steep wall climb. A hard, but easy move round the lower bulge leads to the tricky tufa and further sustained climbing |
|
| 50 | Todos los caminos | 7b+ | 25m | |
||
| 51 | Si te decen que cai | 7a | 25m | *** | An excellent corner climb, that saves its crux for the moves at the top on the right arete of the corner |
