New Topo for Mergullo, Asturias

January 13, 2019 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Here’s a crag that I couldn’t squeeze into Roca Verde 2. It appeared in the first edition but as it’s a bit of a ´locals´venue I didn’t have the space in the expanded version.

Mergullo is a small venue that overlooks the ‘Senda Verde’ just outside Oviedo. It’s probably the closest crag to Oviedo and can be accessed on bike or by walking. However, it’s not the most popular venue and although there are some decent routes, the lack of traffic, the crag’s orientation and the two massive quarries nearby mean that the routes are quite dusty, making them difficult to enjoy. The climbing is hard and fingery and there aren’t any easy routes TBH…but the routes are good they just need a clean.

Remember you can buy the full Roca Verde edition 2 here: Buy Roca Verde 2

Manzaneda Arnea actualizado – Manzaneda Arnea Reequipped 10012019

January 11, 2019 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Hola! Informamos de la restauración parcial del sector Arnea en la Manzaneda. Solo se restauraron las vías que lo necesitaban, en su totalidad las vías 1, 2, 6, 12, 15, 22 y de manera parcial la 4, 16, 18, 19, 20 y 21. Además se sustituyeron 4 descuelgues. A día de hoy quedan un par de chapas viejas `por quitar que en breve ya no estarán.
Si os queréis hacer socios de Asturvertical y colaborar en este tipo de acciones solo tenéis que escribir al correo asturvertical1992@gmail.com e ingresar 10€ en el número de cuenta que se os facilitará.Para finalizar, pues agradecer a la FEMPA, al AYTO. de Oviedo, a la tienda Ludoaventura y a todos y cada uno de los socios de Asturvertical por hacer posible estos trabajos.
Cómo no, en este sector en particular hay que agradecer a Juan López Mesa que fue sin duda el motor de esta obra.

Great news from Club Astur Vertical is that they’ve re-equipped a lot of the routes at the very good sector of Arnea, at the crag of Manzaneda. Thanks a lot to all of the people who took part and thanks to Club Astur Vertical for their strong work. Thanks alos to the outdoor shop Ludo Aventura in Gijon and to Fempa for their gear to help.

Teverga new routes #3

January 10, 2019 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Happy new year everyone. As it’s now 2019 it would seem to be a good time to round up what’s been happening in 2018 and maybe a good place to start is the ever busy valley of Teverga. There’s plenty of new routes so I’m going to put them up in three posts…the next sectors are sectors that were started in 2018 La Isla and Mundo Perdido.

Croquis del Mundo perdido

Mundo Perdido is quite a big sector and has a wide range of grades and styles of routes, 6ª+ hasta 8ª+. It features typical Tevergan long grey slabs to overhanging red/brown limestone with the typical holds this rock produces and one great thing is the right hand part of this sector stays basically dry in winter. The approach is a steep 15 minute uphill hike!! La Isla is a short 5 two minutes from the road and at the moment is a much smaller and mainly features harder 7s. However, I’m pretty sure that soon there’ll be some more routes soon and in the easier grades too.

Like always these new routes are never the work of a single person and so it’s easier to thank everyone who is usually involved in new routing in Teverga so thanks go to Lolo, Miguelín, Berto, Hectorín, Moss, Mulero, Gali, Raúl, Josete, Jose Camino, Armando, Cesar, Junior, Pablo Martín, Tino, Javi López, Mariluz, Pablo, Diego, Dani, Anselmo, Richie, Javi Garzo, Brillan, Espolita and anyone else who’s helped!!

Como llegar a los sectores Río, Mundo perdido y La isla — Getting to the new sectors.

And remember if you do come to Teverga that all these routes are made possible by the work of the local climbing club so if you do stay in the parking area it’s worth remembering that you can make a donation at the club hut to help with bolts and bolting!!

Teverga new routes #2

January 8, 2019 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Happy new year everyone. As it’s now 2019 it would seem to be a good time to round up what’s been happening in 2018 and maybe a good place to start is the ever busy valley of Teverga. There’s plenty of new routes so I’m going to put them up in three posts…and the next sectors are also sectors that was mainly finished in 2017; La Falda and La Galeria.

The new sectors..

These sectors in reality are an extension of Muro Techo – if you keep walking past the existing routes you will get to them in a minute more. La falda (the skirt) is the huge slab while Sector La galeria is the section of tough tufas which overhang the slab below. The routes in general are all quite intricate climbing and with a good spread of grades it’s a great place for a mixed ability group – it’s also worth noting that a 70m rope is needed for nearly all of these as they’re longer than they look. The routes in ‘the gallery’, La galleria, which start from the ‘salathe’ ledge are almost the exact opposite; short steep and generally quite brutal. They also put a bit of fear into the proceedings as, starting at 35 metres, the cruxes are at about 50 metres off the ground!!

Like always these new routes are never the work of a single person and so it’s easier to thank everyone who is usually involved in new routing in Teverga so thanks go to Lolo, Miguelín, Berto, Hectorín, Moss, Mulero, Gali, Raúl, Josete, Jose Camino, Armando, Cesar, Junior, Pablo Martín, Tino, Javi López, Mariluz, Pablo, Diego, Dani, Anselmo, Richie, Javi Garzo, Brillan, Espolita and anyone else who’s helped!! And remember if you do come to Teverga that all these routes are made possible by the work of the local climbing club so if you do stay in the parking area it’s worth remembering that you can make a donation at the club hut to help with bolts and bolting!!

Vías Nuevas Teverganas #1

January 5, 2019 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Hola a todas y todos…y Felices Fiestas! Ya que es fin de año 2018 me parece el momento perfecto para publicar unos croquis de los sectores y las vías nuevas que se han abierto en Teverga en los últimos dos años. ¡Gracias a la amplia actividad durante este tiempo tenemos como resultado un montón de vías nuevas e incluso sectores y áreas!!

Como llegar el Rio Mundo perdido y La isla

Dos sectores más y completamente nuevos en 2018: La isla y Mundo perdido. Situados en la canal encima de los parkings cerca el túnel. La isla es justo arriba de la carretera, mientras para llegar a Mundo perdido hay que caminar unos 15 minutos por una pista empinado – ver el mapa.

Croquis del Mundo perdido

Mundo perdido es bastante grande con un rango de vías desde 6ª+ hasta 8ª+. Unas son vías de placa tumbada con roca gris, estilo Tevergano, y otras desploman más y tienen presas muy típicas de la roca marrón. Una cosa buena es que las vías en el marrón también están más o menos secas en pleno invierno.


La isla es más pequeño (pero creo que muy pronto lo van a ampliar) y la mayoría de las vías son duras y en desplome, con roca muy buena.

Santi, en el Mundo Perdido Ph Eduardo Velasco

Como siempre, el trabajo es de mucha gente. En vez de poner nombres individuales para cada sector es mejor dar las gracias de forma colectiva por su trabajo normalmente en varios lugares; Lolo, Miguelín, Berto, Hectorín, Moss, Mulero, Gali, Raúl, Josete, Jose Camino, Armando, Cesar, Junior, Pablo Martín, Tino, Javi López, Mariluz, Pablo, Diego, Dani, Anselmo, Richie, Javi Garzo, Brillan, Espolita y cualquiera que haya equipado…
Como sabéis la mayoría del trabajo solo ha sido posible con las aportaciones del club Grupo de Montaña Aguja Sobia – como chapas, parabolts, reuniones y la dedicación de sus miembros. Así que aprovechamos para animaros a haceros soci@s para el año que viene y recordaros que cuando venís a escalar podéis dejar vuestras aportaciones en el bote al lado de la puerta del sede del club!!
Feliz año y felices escaladas!!!
