Yeah the trip is going really well, lots of good weather and great climbing. I got a good day in climbing at oliana below 7a+ (25) but would struggle to fill 2 days before I had to start climbing 7b, 7c. There is a Stella 7a+ tufa route that is the start of many other hard routes, felt pretty weak lowering off a quarter of the way up the cliff.

On the other hand Santa Linya was a waste of time :(
5 shots on the 7a warm up and I still couldn't tick it. Left with my tail well and truly between my legs that day plus watching dani Andrada climbing 7c in socks was humbling.

So far the best crag I have been to is montsant, pocket heaven!!
