Montanejos
Climbing in Montanejos, located in the province of Castellón in Spain, is a popular activity for both beginners and experienced climbers. Known for its stunning natural landscapes, Montanejos offers a variety of sport climbing routes on limestone cliffs, set against the backdrop of lush, mountainous terrain. The area is especially famous for its caves, gorges, and rock faces along the Mijares River, which runs through the region. Climbers can enjoy a range of routes, from short, easy-access climbs to more challenging, multi-pitch routes. The rock quality is generally excellent, with smooth, solid limestone providing good holds and a rewarding climbing experience. After a climb, climbers can also enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural hot springs of Montanejos, a unique feature of the area, adding to the appeal of the region as a climbing destination.

Description
Montanejos is an old climbing area with very diverse climbing experience. You can get schooled by a polished slab, you can have a 50+ meter roof in the cave, or you can even climb an amazing 100-meter face and jump down. This new episode features everything I like about climbing. Being at the crag with just an incredible crew of fanatic local climbers, meeting an old friend of mine, Dani Andrada, being blown away by the potential for a new line in a massive cave, trying hard while to onsight a 9a, getting some air on multi-pitch, taking the biggest fall of my life and a great evening sampling the local cuisine with the locals. All of this in 24 hours. Sometimes days are long but incredibly satisfying. Even though the 9a onsight might have got away. There is much more to climbing than just sending the route.
