It doesn't happen very often around these parts (the last time was 2009) but it's certainly a spectacular sight! We headed up to Siurana, which had had a jolly good coating - we even had to use our "snow socks" a couple of times on the way up. The conditions were pretty good for climbing though and we had a productive weekend in the sheltered village sections. Ali ticked another 7c+ (You'd never believe his shoulder was hanging out of its socket less than two months ago!) and I did my first 7a of the year :-)

| A snowy (but climbable) Sector Melafots! |
 |
| Despite the occasional dusting of snow blowing off the trees this wall (Can Marges de Dalt) was a pretty pleasant place to climb in the snow! |
 |
| The church at Siurana along with snow covered blossom... never seen that before! |
 |
| The village looking very different to normal - note the icicles on the Hotel! |
