You will climb Erikindia on Morrón de Toix, a 70-metre sport line at 6a+ opened in 2021 by Omar Samper and Vicente Monerris, with a fifty-metre abseil to the start, a chimney and a finish through a hole in the rock. It is a guided coastal day for two climbers, with a guide who knows the approach, the pitch links and the way down.
We meet at the Maryvilla urbanisation, often at nine, and walk about twenty minutes to the Toix cliffs. After kit and the fifty-metre abseil, the first pitch is vertical and friendly at V to the stance before the chimney, the second is the chimney into an overhanging slab with a 6a+ move, and the third is about IV through the hole to the summit.
We pack up on top and walk about twenty-five minutes back to the cars. Five hours is a fair guide for the whole outing. Autumn, winter and spring are the usual seasons, with start times from eight onwards. If easterlies or heat make it a poor choice, we will look at another date rather than force a tired day on hot rock.
The Toix ridge above Calp is steep grey limestone with wide Mediterranean views. Winter and spring are the best months, when climbers come here to escape colder inland weather, and Maryvilla is the usual start for the walk in.
We send the parking pin close to the walk in once the date is set. Give yourself time on the coastal roads so you arrive ready to walk. Bring water, a snack and shoes that grip on the approach path; harness, helmet, shoes and the group kit are included.
You need outdoor climbing experience around 6a+, a calm head on exposed limestone and fitness for a four-to-five-hour coastal day. If you have only climbed indoors, start on a Granada top-rope instead.
Minimum age is 18. Two climbers per guide keeps the team compact on a route where talking at belays really matters. We take digital photos on the summit, and we can suggest another Toix line if you have a second day on the coast.
On a long route the useful thing we bring is local knowledge: where to park, how the face feels in the sun, and a descent we have done many times. You climb. We handle the rack, the route finding and the faff, and we take digital photos and videos when there is a safe stance for it. Your guide is a mountain guide who specialises in rock climbing and can work in English or Spanish.
We only take two climbers per guide on these days, which keeps belays moving on committing ground. Before we leave the car we will talk through the pitches, the descent and the timing so you know what the day looks like, and we would rather move the date than force a tired day on wet rock or a windy high face.
We meet at the Maryvilla urbanisation, often at nine, and walk about twenty minutes to the Toix cliffs. After kit we set up the fifty-metre abseil that drops you to the start of Erikindia.
The first pitch is vertical and friendly at V to the stance before the chimney. The second is the chimney into an overhanging slab with a 6a+ move, and the third is about IV through a hole in the rock to the summit of this 70-metre line.
We pack up on top and walk about twenty-five minutes back to the cars. Five hours is a fair guide for the whole outing, and we take digital photos on the summit.
Flexible clothing, sun protection, water and snacks for the duration. Approach shoes with grip suit most venues; bring a light waterproof and extra layer for mountain or coastal wind.
This is for climbers aged 18 and over who already know their way around outdoor belays and want a local guide on a classic line near Morrón de Toix. You should be used to walking in with a pack and spending several hours on the rock.
It is not a teaching day for first-timers. You will get a lot more from it if you already climb outside and just want someone who knows the approach, the pitches and the way down.
Most of our open dates are Saturdays and Sundays, which is how we usually run these days through the year. If one of those works, just request a place on that day and we will confirm the meet once it is accepted.
If you would rather go midweek, or only with your own friends, send us a date and how many of you there are. We will check a guide is free and get back to you by chat or email with the plan.
The activity itself is about 5 hours, plus a bit of time at the start for kit and the walk in to the sector. Lunch is a short stop with food you bring, except on indoor course days where we use the gym break.
Start times change with the season and the venue, because we chase shade in summer and sun in winter. Once your date is confirmed we will send the meet time, parking notes and what to bring.
You get a qualified mountain guide who specialises in rock climbing, plus harness, helmet and shoes where we issue them, and the ropes and hardware. Digital photos and videos of the day are included, and we are happy to advise on kit before you travel.
Meals, drinks, accommodation and getting yourself to the meeting point are down to you. Transport can sometimes be arranged separately if you ask ahead. Bring water and a snack that will last the session.
Wear clothes you can move in, with a layer for wind and a bit of sun cream. Trainers or approach shoes with grip are better than smooth soles, and we ask you not to come in flip-flops, sandals or clogs.
Pack at least a litre of water, a snack and a light waterproof. A 40 to 45 litre pack is useful on longer days. If you wear glasses, a strap stops them sliding when you look down, and a cap or sun hat helps on open limestone.
It depends on the exact sector near Morrón de Toix and the weather that week. We decide the pin and the arrival time in the days before, so we can use the rock that is in the best condition.
Granada days often start from Plaza Alta in Monachil or a crag car park a few minutes away. Coastal and Alicante routes use a meet point closer to that cliff, and we send clear directions once the date is accepted.
We need dry rock and sensible wind. If it looks poor, we will message you as early as we can and either move venue or look at another day, because forcing a session on wet limestone is not useful for anyone.
High Sierra Nevada faces are the fussiest, and leftover snow or strong wind can close them even in summer. We would rather shift the date than stand around in poor conditions at that height.
You should already be happy leading or seconding outdoors, and fit enough for a full day on your feet with a walk in at either end. If a long approach and several pitches sounds like a stretch, tell us and we can point you to an easier day on local rock.
We take a maximum of two climbers with one guide on this route, so belays stay simple and we can talk properly at each stance. That is how we keep a long day moving without anyone waiting in the sun.
Yes. We issue a harness and helmet at the meet, plus climbing shoes or a ferrata lanyard if that is what the day needs. Tell us your shoe size if we ask for it.
You are welcome to use your own harness or helmet if it is CE marked. We will give it a quick check before we start.
Read the meet-time message and give yourself a few extra minutes for parking. A charged phone with the pin saved is enough.
When you book, tell us what you have climbed before. That helps us pick the right ropes and keep the day at a pace you will enjoy.
