Rockfax, 2005. 368 Pages, 42 Areas, 2300+ routes, full color throughout. Softcover. Fine.
Dedicated exclusively to the Costa Blanca, this is the most comprehensive book ever published to sport and trad climbing on Spain’s “white coast” – weighing in at 368 pages and covering a host of superb cliffs between Leyva in the far south to Gandia in the north. With well over 2300 routes described in detail, this book will keep any ardent sun-rocker busy for years.
The Costa Blanca has become renowned as Europe’s premier winter sun rock venue, with a great climate, bags of accommodation, cheap flights and enough high quality climbing to last a lifetime. As well as covering the clip-ups on the ever-popular cliffs around Benidorm and Calpe, the book details big outings on the Puig Campana, The Penon, and the Echo Valley area.
Format - A new set of high resolution digital photographs has been assembled, and on the rare occasion where this has proved impossible, detailed full-colour topos have been used. Some of the full-page crag shots are a breathtaking revelation. Include 50+ dramatic action photographs and this book will set the standard for years to come.
