El Chorro Climbing Guide

Mark Glaister. The gorge at El Chorro is a huge limestone defile that slices through the mountain range just 50km inland from Malaga, in the province of Andalucia. This striking landmark is one of the World's most famous sport climbing destinations, and was one of the first areas in Europe to be equipped during the development of this style of rock climbing during the 1980's. Since then development has spread to all the surrounding cliffs and walls resulting in a superb set of varied routes from long multi-pitch big wall climbs to easily accessed single pitch sectors. In the now familiar easy to use Rockfax format, the El Chorro guide covers much of the surrounding limestone landscape as well as the gorge itself to give a comprehensive and indispensable climbing guide to the area.
