Los Pinos

Well visible from the AP-7 and with a privileged perspective of the Sierra de Oltá and the Peñón de Ifach, Pinos crag offers a special climbing set of more than 40 routes with short and steep routes as its main signs of identity. It is divided into two sectors that are only 500 meters away from each other, with practically zero approaches and an orientation that provides sun throughout the whole day. The first of them is located on the flanks of a small complex that houses the cave paintings of the Abrigo de Pinos, where you can find the famous figure of Eva Pinera, more than 6000 years old. Here, you will find the biggest difficulties of the crag, with routes of an average of 12 meters and explosive overhangs up to 8b. Taking these facts into account, consolidated grade of at least 7b+ is recommended to climb here. In the second, called the Casa sector, you will enjoy almost 30 routes with a much smoother angle, and an average height of 15 meters. Although there are 10 routes between V and 6c +, it is still recommended only for climbers who move freely within the seventh grade.

Its first three routes date back from the late 80s. Two of them were the result of the work of group consisting of Iván Hernández, Carlos Rubio "Maraku", Jesús Ruiz, Fernando Terol "Palomo", Salvador Pons and Higinio Wenceslao, who called themselves "Los Orthopedic ”, while the third was equipped by Roy de Valera and Pep Ginestar. After that, the crag would enjoy a break of more than a decade until the British Chris Newton-Goverd would show it to his compatriot Richard Davies, who was the one who massively developed it between the years 2003 and 2010.
