Eye of Serra del Montgó

Costa Blanca Canyoning

An essential skill for rock climbers when there is no other safe means of descent, abseiling

is potentially very dangerous so the more practice you can get the more skilful you become.

 

Apart from wanting to improve our abseiling skills for rock climbing we get enormous

enjoyment from Canyoning in the Spanish Costa Blanca. (Barranquismo)  

There are numerous barrancos in the Las Marinas alta and baja.

Some are wet and some are dry, some are short and some are very high!  

 

Our single pitch abseils range from 22 metres  to the awesome 80 metres of the Montgó Eye

which is not a barranco.  Multi pitch Canyoning includes the Pas dels Bandolers,

the eerie Barranco del Infierno and the Barranc de Sant that involves a total of 12 pitches.

The Barranco Pas Tancat has characteristics of the Infierno and the Sant.  

 

Many of our adventures can be seen on the Gallery  page with further details listed on the

Canyoning Routes page.  Only experienced climbers with Personal & Liability insurance are

allowed to join us.  If want to experience Canyoning for the first time we suggest you contact

the Adventure Schools listed on our Links page.  

 

Some good examples of wet Canyoning, sometimes known as Aquaseiling, can be seen at the Philip Van Den Berge web site.
