A beautiful day above the city on the mountain.


Decided to walk up to the crag and managed to borrow a belay off two cool dudes from Barcelona. I had no intention of climbing for a week or so, but when faced with the chance standing underneath the rock with bright sunshine all around, how could I resist? Explained about my knee then set off up a Montserrat 6a - felt harder, but that´s Montserrat! It was an area to the left of where I had climbed before... awesome!








Really enjoy my spanish interactions testing out my hablando. Called a guy on the telefono about accomodation in spanish, spoke with climbers at the crag in spanish, ordered more food in spanish. Have found accomodation for Navidad, so thats cool. My spanish is pretty poor for now, but the sun was on my face today on the mountain and it felt great. I´m glad I have avoided finding an appartment in the city, up here, it is special and I would rather live in a more rustic surrounding and be on the mountain than down below... feliz.
