Fell And My Elbow Is Swollen

And today, what do we mean? Return to job

's funny. Sometimes go weeks without anything remarkable to put in the blog, and sometimes I build things to tell. I still have pending the story and the great pictures of the ascent of the corridor to the left of the west face of Taillon, with Sergi. already published a few days ago advancement. But today we will not talk about it:

I have a picture of our Easter vacation in Comillas, including some prior to the unfortunate result of combining a plate and a half of rice, beer, three glasses of wine, rum, two cafes, a surf session movidito and gastrointestinal stimulant and a lush meadow and tall grass with the ground littered with nettles. But we're not going to talk about this:


Today we will talk about more recent events, that I have more fresh. And closer places. And, of course, climbing. And is that on Sunday May 1 the rope to kill them, that is, Pep and myself, we come once again to Montserrat continuing the ambitious plan that we have set and that any day that ends with a successful ascent of at least two ways in the day, would be a complete failure and a demonstration of cowardice manifests. There you have it. Montserrat
not need great presentation on this blog. You have seen several photos of the north face of hats and cupcakes . However, this time, we went down his face South

visited
Can Jorba, an area completely new to me, and taking into account the extremely low memory having Pep pathways for this and the walls could be said that this area was completely new drums for him, even though there has already climbed a few times



And the name of the area is due to this lonely farmhouse at the foot of the walls: Can Jorba


Can Jorba The area offers everything in abundance , from climbing walls to itineraries of various lengths of "classic" ... and this "classic" in Montserrat has come to mean: it is best not to fall. With just one approach path that passes by a huge cave ...


... arrive at the foot of Miranda de Can Jorba, the wall you can find chosen paths: Sol Solet, 130, IV + to whet your appetite, and Escabroni Escapullini, 125m V / V + to less noble ends can open gastrointestinal tract ...


Solet
The Sun is highly recommended for those who prove they want, without getting into climbing Montserratina shirts chew. Grade facilitated long-held but with abundant safe, bombproof meetings (most with three of bolts) and rappelling. A trackside what drew lots, following the tradition and Purete brunt. Coin. Heads, which means that touched me the long odd, Pep and peers. Via disfrutona and smoothly, if we ignore the first long had a wet section of the rain on Saturday and, especially, if we forget that damn dam break on the first lap, before reaching the first check that you are a few meters above the ground, catching by surprise Pep, in the blink of an eye, was found hanging from the rope. Luckily he was second. Sure was glad that I touched me the long odds.
The Escabroni Escapullini, despite what is said by some websites and even some guides, it has nothing to do with the Sun Solet. In my opinion there is a way for beginners. The first long, 45m!, IV \u200b\u200b+ is a very solid insurance maintained (parabolts) but, eye, and begin to move away. Since then, a long which would not suffer a slip, but one of the best sections IV + I've climbed so far in Montserrat. In this case, the longer you touch Pep odd and peers at me, so I get the 4 th long Cotado V or V +, according to the guide. The key step is to avoid the ceiling on the right, but notice to boaters passing the ceiling is only the beginning. After that, you have to climb a vertical plate of V degree quite certainly grieve the absence of other more graphic word (and less noble). Three or four nearest safe that in the long lower, to protect it. From below it seems more difficult than it turns out to be. Once put on fatigues, dams are quite positive, but beware, this is V is vertical, you have air 100m below the ass and not give away anything here.

Both pathways end in the top of the roof, from which three rappels down long, the first of them flew and not suitable for those with vertigo.
