Viás nuevas en Quirós / New routes in Quirós

April 12, 2023 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Para abrir el verano 2023 hay noticias sobre unas vías abiertos el año pasado en los sectores más arriba de Quirós; La Leona y Rosa de Mayo. Las vías de La Leona son Aika, 7b/+ y Dos rombos, 7b+. Las vías eran abiertos por Berto, Aika, y Miguel, Lito y Rafa Dos rombos. Muchas gracias a ellos… Y la vía de Rosa de Mayo se llama Coda, 7a+ y es de Miguel, Lito y Rafa Como todos de Quirós ambos sectores merecen un visita y La leona tiene sombra después del media dia más o menos y Rosa de Mayo después de las 3 de la tarde y así son ideal para el verano!!

There’s some new routes to report at Rosa de Mayo and La Leona, Quiros, two of the highest sectors at the crag. At La Leona the routes are Aika, 7b/+ opened by Berto and Dos rombos 7b+, opened by Miguel, Lito and Rafa. Both are long and Dos Rombos is in the shade from around midday so a good summer tick. At Rosa de Mayo the route is called Coda, and is given 7a+ (though could be harder) it´s around 32m long and is in the shade from around 3pm and being high and often breezy again is a good summer option. This was again opened by Miguel, Lito and Rafa.

Teverga – all the stats…

March 21, 2023 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

Everyone knows that climbing is not like stamp collecting where the objective is just to ‘collect’, so if you are only looking for a grade or do a route just to tick it off, these are probably not the best motivations to climb; instead it should be the movement, the moves, the environment and the fight. But, and this is a big but, sometimes we all like to tick something off in our books; at least to say that ‘I did it!’ Or to remember a day or an experience. Also, it’s motivating to make a list of routes that you want to redpoint or places to visit where there are routes with the grade that we are looking for.

To do that without having access to all the information is difficult, looking from page to page in the guide is tricky so, for these reasons (and because there was not space in the book to put them) I decided to make some ‘ticklists’ of the routes and have started with of one of the largest areas in the book, Teverga. The lists are PDFs that can be downloaded and used to build your own lists, tick the routes you’ve done, or, (if you’re a completist), find the routes you need to tick all the routes of an entire grade!!!

It’s should have done something like this a long time ago, but hey, it’s done – Teverga with all the stats! So if you want to know more about the number of routes of each grade in Teverga and download some sheets in order of grade, from IV to 9a, to find your new project, or see which routes you need or want to do or which sector suddenly looks more interesting, click on the links!!

So there are five PDFs: the first with all the Teverga routes from the two IVs to the projects and the others with groupings of grades such as IV – V+, 6ª – 6c+ etc etc

Teverga – All the routes – All 805 routes from IV to 9a + the projects

Teverga Routes IV_V+ – Teverga all the fours and fives

Teverga Routes 6a_6c+ – Teverga all the routes from 6a to 6c+

Teverga Routes 7a_7c+ – Teverga all the routes from 7a to 7c+

Teverga Routes 8a and up – Teverga all the routes from 8a upwards

And to break it down further into the routes by grade, it is easy to understand why Teverga is considered a paradise for those who climb in the sevens, with 368 routes between 7a and 7c+ and its pretty notable that with 60 routes of 7a and  82 of 7a+ it is not essential that you climb super hard either.

And it is also quite obvious why having the massive crag of Quirós next door with its abundance of easy routes: fours, fives and sixes is a good thing. Quirós is the perfect companion for the Teverga where there are more hard routes than easy ones.

All the routes here are in my book Roca Verde 3A – you can buy it here

And Roca Verde Apartment in the heart of Teverga is perfect for anyone wanting to climb here.

But obviously, the routes do not come out in order of difficulty within their grade – I am not stupid enough to go there – and I cannot guarantee that every route is included, because there are a couple of new sectors that do not appear and there are some new routes that I haven’t updated yet. But 99% are there I reckon, and one thing that interests me a lot is how the area has grown; When I published the first Roca Verde, in 2014 there were about 450 routes in Teverga and, for example, the Depuradora and Esplanada sectors had just appeared. Now, more or less, there are 725, an increase of more than 60%, and with completely new sectors and many new lines in old sectors – and even I personally have done 38 new routes in the last few years.

And to add to this work, very soon I hope (with the help of many people) that I can post a list of routes with the equippers marked so that people know who has given their time and vision to open the routes they are climbing!!

Finally, and once again, it must be remembered that the tracks do not exist without a lot of work and almost all the work in Teverga has been supported and material donated by the club in the area; Group of Montana and Climbing Aguja de Sobia. So when you’re there, and next to the car park at the clubhouse, there’s a place to donate money to help the club grow even more.

Check out our destination guides…

March 16, 2023 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

We’ve just posted a couple of Destination Guides for two of the biggest regions covered by the Roca Verde guide to help you get a feel for the cragging available.

Valles de Trubia – The gorgeous, green, Valles del Trubia, situated just south of the capital of Asturias, Oviedo, contain plenty of crags and over 1500 routes, making this a great holiday rock destination. Situated in the north-west of Spain the temperatures here are nowhere near as brutal as the south of Spain; this makes all-year-round climbing possible and a summer Spanish cragging trip a great option! (By the way our new rental pad is here too check out Roca Verde Apartment)
Read more about the Valles del Trubia here

Olympic champion Alberto Gines Lopez climbing in Teverga….

El Desfiladero de La Hermida – Snaking sinuously south from just west of Santander there’s a savage slit that acts as the border between Cantabria and Asturias and the main thoroughfares into the heart of the Picos de Europa. Deep, steep-sided and improbably festooned with a ton of amazing looking faces (not all of them developed) the gorge of the Desfiladero de La Hermida combines perfectly with the crags around Arenas de Cabrales in eastern Asturias to make a brilliant, easy-access, summer and autumn sport climbing destination. Read more about La Hermida here

And for a bit more inspiration for a visit here’s my friend Graham on one of the best routes at Teverga, the brilliant Sabrina, 7c, at Pared Negra….

And remember you can order the guide here…

Looking for accommodation in Asturias?

June 19, 2022 by Roca Verde Climbing Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for accommodation in and around the Valles de Trubia – close to some of the best climbing in Asturias – then check out Casa Quirós https://casaquiros.co.uk/

And although we have a lot of booking already we have space in the house from the end of August to the middle of September. You can check out our booking calendar on the website or you can e-mail us at richieandmary@casaquiros.co.uk

Casa Quirós is a picture-book pretty, traditional stone-built Asturian house that has been recently renovated to a high standard and owned by us, the authors of the recent Roca Verde climbing guidebook. The south facing house sleeps five in a twin, double room and single room. Casa Quirós is situated in Aciera, a picturesque traditional Asturian village, in the heart of the parque natural de Las Ubiñas-La Mesa. Surrounded by beautiful peaks and passes the area is perfect for all types of outdoor activity including; climbing, road biking, mountain biking, trail running, hiking, fishing and birdwatching. And although we are ‘out in the sticks’ the house has full, unlimited WiFi for those who need to check in or do some work while getting the outdoor ‘fix.

In this video you can see how close the house is to the famous and extensive crag of Quiros but it’s also not too far – just 15mins drive – to almost 900 routes in Teverga as well.

Primero tienes el 4° Encuentro de la muyereda que empieza en Morcin, día 22 de Septiembre con unas charlas chulas y luego, con la inspiración a tope, la semana después hay el segundo maratón de escalada en Pelugano. Sigues @lamuyerada y @maraton_escalada_pelugano para más información. Y estoy muy contento apoyar ambos eventos con unos libros.

Dad and son on the same route, one succeeds the other doesn't, can you guess which? A typically brutal route from the sector Pingalagua in Teverga, Paquito el vacilón, 7c+, is a series of hard snatches between poor holds. 👍👍

La Bocandia, un sitio un poco olvidado pero una ve La Bocandia, un sitio un poco olvidado pero una vez vuelves es obvio que es un sitio con mucho calidad y un montón de vias chulisimas. Muchas gracias a Diego, @diegonaranjorivas y Pablo @cervezaasgaya por su trabajo tremendo en abrir el sector. Un sector que merece la pena especialmente si escalas en los séptimos, entre 7a y 7c. Sombra después de las tres. 
📸 David Rothstein en Yernes 13, 6b...
La Bocandia, a bit forgotten but we'll worth a visit with a ton of great routes across the grades especially if you're climbing in the mid 7s. Shade after 3pm too.
