[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A unkown climber in a needle of the famous Massif of Montserrat, in Gorros region named "Sentinella del Barranc del Bruc", near to Barcelona.

This pic is dedicated to everybody that has been there enjoying the nature amb the climbing. Places like that are in your memory forever.

Note about Montserrat and climbing there:

At only 50 min from Barcelona. It is ideal to visit the basilica of Montserrat, for climbing the amazing walls in this area, for hiking on the different trails, relax, visit the narrow streets of Monistrols, etc. Everyone visiting Barcelona should take at least a day to visit Montserrat.

Montserrat with its conglomerate mountain rock could almost be from another planet. In the middle of a primarily flat countryside the Montserrat peaks seem to rise out of nowhere. The area looks like a giant' s playground where they have been making sandcastles of concrete. Many of the towers that provide superb rock climbing or mountaineering are visible from the Barcelona. With around 2000 routes (classic and modern climbing) from 3 to 8c or classic routes with A5, you are going to enjoy there climbing.

I hope to will see this wonder of nature myself sometime soon! Thank you for the inspiration Quino! I love to see these mountains in you'r work! Very nice! Ramon

Hola Quino!
he mandado una fotografía de monserrat y me he dado una vuelta por las que había ya publicadas y esta me parece una pasada, da vértigo sólo de ver a esa persona ahí subida. Un detalle muy bonito de la foto es la grieta de la piedra que está toda iluminada por la luz de Sol. Felicidades.
