El Camino Del Ray
Some of the best climbing in inland Spain is found at El Chorro, accessed by El Camino Del Ray. The “approach” is a stomach-turner even on video. According to Climb Spain, this walkway runs the length of the gorge and is suspended 100m above the valley floor. However it is over 80 years old and is now sadly slowly crumbling away, especially at both ends. However, this definitely adds to the “feel of adventure” to the rock climbing at El Chorro and calls for a high level of commitment in just getting to the start of some of the routes! It is this area, which gives El Chorro its own unique intimidating atmosphere, and not surprisingly this is where the long multi-pitch routes are concentrated (up to 10-pitches long). The majority of the routes here are 6b+ and above, and are either above or below the Camino Del Ray walkway.
