The main crag is Sella, which has nearly 300 routes and offers everything from short easy routes to long multi-pitch traditional climbing. Puig Campana also offers superb long multi-pitch traditional climbing though the hour walk in does put some people off. In total there are 8 different crags with over 750 routes to choose from in this area, including Vall de Guadar (Echo Valley) and Guadalest crags that both offer in excess of 100 routes.

Now I may be missing something really obvious here, but I can't find any updated info on the Echo Placa routes in the Echo Valley.The old Rockfax had info about this place called Echo Placa that had several 3 star multi-pitch routes. In fact the climbing was described as 'superb and well worth every step of the walk-in'.The new Costa Blanca guide has a lot of crags in the Echo valley, but Echo Placa is missing. There's some blurb in the guide about where more info can be obtained online about other crags in the Echo Valley. But I can't find Echo Placa in any of those sources.What's the deal? Is it no longer any good?

Anyone been up there recently? I fancied a visit to try Cracks in The Sky. TonyM:The general consensus was that the Echo Valley routes had been over-hyped in previous editions, and people who had flogged up to Echo Placa had been so frightened by the loose rock, it came as something of a relief to endure every step of the walk out.I think that is why many of the high crags, which were rarely climbed on, were missed out of this edition, though it is arguable whether so much of the lower level stuff merited inclusion in preference.Having said that, I think it was a mistake to miss out Pared de las Fisuras. This (not Echo Placa) is the crag where Cracks in the Sky is.Neil. TonyM:Hi TonyWhen putting together the new book we had a discussion with Rowland Edwards about which areas to include. He has developed more areas since the last guidebook and we knew we didn't have space for everything, especially since these routes tend to be very page-hungry.

So we decided to cut the coverage to just the Echo stuff and Rowland is going to produce his own book covering all the other crags previously in the Rockfax, and the new crags he has developed. This in fact just resulted in us dropping only 13 routes from the new guide but adding many more in the popular Echo and Castillo areas.I am not aware of there being any new developments on the crags that we have dropped so, had we covered them, the information would have been identical to the coverage in Fax13. I have made a PDF containing the pages from the last guide with these routes on which you can download from here -Information on all Rowland's new routes is available from here -Alan. Steff:The area of echo placa actually had no name when we first climbed there, nor had it ever been climbed on. We named it Echo Walls but a friend of ours( spanish) suggested the Placa bit.

It got the name Echo because when we were climbing there, and communicating with each other, we got tremendous echoes from around the valley. The names of the crags below received their names simply because they were on the way up to the higher crag, except Castello which is really the name for the Whole of Echo one. This wasn't discovered until later. But seperating them as it has makes identifcation better. It is not unsual for climbers to name crags or areas differently than local names. Take for instance Chair Ladder in Cornwall, really it should be called Gwynap head. There are hundreds of such instances.When mark and I did the first route on LA Capella, ( Deidro Edwards 8a 240m).

We asked the local sheppard what they called the face we climbed on. That's where we got the name LA Capella, evidently in years gone by a young girl throw herself off the top after a frustrated love afair(nice tale) In a later addition of a histroy of the area in Desnivel, it was called Notario/Perea. In fact many of the mountains are called different names by locals than visitors.Regarding the climbing on Echo Placa. If havig to walk for twenty- thirty mins and finding ones way through rough terrian is not your game then obviuosly you shouldn't visit Echo Placa or Col Llam. (the same as thrashing up to the Ben, it's not for you). But if climbing superb rock walls in an astonishingly beautiful area is what turns you on then its well worth it.

I have received too many favourable comments on the area, from those who have done the routes, to feel that I was mistaken in making our first comments on the area.All the routes which were ommitted from the latest Rock Fax guide will eventually be placed on our on-line guide at www.commpasswest.co.uk. Some areas are already there as or loads of new crags and areas. When Alan James first mentioned the new Rock Fax guide he did say that a few of the older adventure climbing areas would have to be left out, in consideration for the amount of new sport routes which the area has gained. They do take a lot of room up and one can understand that choices had to be made (unfortunately). Steff: That's because unfortunately, there is not much communication between english climbers and spanish ones. Many of the spanish ones doesn't speak in english, and most of the english ones doesn't speak in spanish, when you meet people and you say hola, they answer hi, or hello.

I know Echo placa and haunted walls were developed by Edwards, so I respect the names, I only translated them as we know here.This is problematic now and can be more in the future. We climb together, so we must have communication, that's what I think. And my english is getting worse hehehehe.
