With Tash's back still giving her problems, meaning that climbing and even belaying weren't possible, we decided to head out to the local boulders at Mont-roig so I could climb and Tash could have a hobble around (as well as being on photo duties!). It's somewhere that I'd been once before but couldn't really get psyched by - the rock's quite soft and sandy and most of the problems are bum-scraping sit starts!
However, luckily there are a few worthwhile sectors with more solid rock and some pretty decent eliminates and link-ups and also one totally independent fridge-hugging prow problem on perfectly clean and solid rock. The best thing is that it feels pretty damn hard so it'll be a good training project, and only ~10mins from the house!

| A bit of bush-whacking in between the problems! |
 |
| Some of the amazing features in the rock - a sign of the durability of the rock here! |
 |
| Honeycomb rock at one of the good steep sectors - luckily the rock here is actually solid! |
 |
| Awesome steep roof with plenty of eliminates and link-ups. |
 |
| New project - cool prow line (Contracorriente) |
 |
| Hard moves in the middle of the traverse. |

| Final fridge-hugging moves. |

Shit don't be boulder crushing.. We wouldn't want you to be strong for the stag! Have you booked it btw?
