Morata de Jalon sport climbing AREA

[9b]

Very close to Zaragoza low cost (Ryanair) airport.

The best sport climbing area in the south of Aragón, quite big, very well equipped.

250 routes, 4-8b+, mostly easy (4-6c+: 50%, 7a-7c+: 30%, 8: 5%).

Grey and red limestone, all inclinations. Technical climbing.
Puente de Roca sector is amazing.
Many little crags around.

Access very easy.
To get to la Peña del Reloj (the first crag) and la Aguja Coñeriza take the road from the cemetery of Morata de Jalón.
To get to la Gran Placa, Alì and Paredes negras, follow the frist track from the village of Chodes and cross the bridge over the river to arrive at a rock arch.
Please, don't walk in fruits coltivations.

Best period: autumn to spring.
In summer is very hot, even if you can find shade behind the train tunnel.
