This is one of the few walls in the province of Alicante that can truly be called a “cave.” Although it is considered a mythical sector within the great climbing area of Sella, it is described separately here, as both its parking lot and approach lie more than 15 km away from the main core of the crag. Inside the cave you will find ultra-overhanging routes, some of them forming perfect roofs, and never below 8th grade. Outside, on the right side, there is a good selection of slightly overhanging 7th-grade routes, while on the left-hand side, there are a few vertical 6th-grade routes. Its privileged views and great tranquility make it a special place for those who want to climb “a muerte”, away from the crowds of more popular sectors, though at the cost of a longer approach.
The history of the cave begins around 2005, when Miguel Sánchez, after several attempts, finally reached its base and discovered the enormous potential it held. With the help of several friends, he began bolting most of the nowadays existing routes, creating a style of climbing that could not be found in several kilometers around. The cave reached its golden age the following year: during the spring and summer months, it was besieged almost daily by climbers, resulting in the first sends of its most iconic routes. After this boom, the sector fell into progressive disuse, receiving very few visits and quickly slipping into obscurity. In the early 2010s, Jorge Soriano rebolted the four most representative lines with glue-in bolts, but this did not bring climbers back to its steep walls. Finally, in 2020, Olivier Bousquet and Roberto López carried out a restoration and expansion campaign: two new routes were bolted, and five others, previously incomplete or with very deteriorated equipment, were finished.
