L'Olla

L'Olla is a compact sector situated slightly apart from the main concentrations of Siurana, offering a quieter atmosphere when the more famous walls are crowded. The climbing here is characterized by technical, vertical to gently overhanging limestone featuring pockets, crimps, and precise footwork. Because of its orientation, it receives favorable sun exposure during the cooler months, making it a good option for winter climbing, though approaches require attention to the steep and sometimes indistinct paths characteristic of the upper valley.

L'Olla is part of the same general cliff band as Espero Primavera. Park and approach as for Espero Primavera, but continue west along the cliff base trail. The trail descends, and passes around an enormous detached pillar. Stay right after the pillar, passing below the El Pati cliff, and its famous testpiece ¨La Rambla¨. Stay right at all of the trail forks, eventually gaining a high extremely exposed ledge. Continue along the ledge to a beautiful steep cirque of short, tufa-ed sport routes.
