D.W.S INGRINA

If your in the Algarve climbing and its a bit to Hot and you need to cool
down,then Ingrina is the place to go.Its all S,O and the water is deep.
You have a ledge at the entrance to watch from or jump off and a Blow hole that
takes you into the cave at sea level.All the walls can be climbed but a small boat

is a good idea to get to them.It is an amazing place to spend an afternoon,
its over hanging and sharp at times but when your hands hurt you can do

some big jumps,enjoy!!!

Albufeira Crag

New Crag in Albufeira its not big but well worth a look.
Big thanks to Nuno for showing John and i around,
This crag gets the sun all day and is very Hot so skip it mid summer
but autumn winter and spring will be great and the sea is a stone throw
away.
The access is an easy 50mtwalk from the road and the view
from the top of the routes is amazing.The Grades start at 6a
to 8b and are not for the novice climbers,but what a place.

THE MIRROR

If you ever find your self in the Algarve and your up for it!
check out the Mirror,one of the best routes you will find.
There are 3 sport routes,Silent running 6b goes straight up the
middle.Small swell,sunny day and the tide was low.Why not!
60mtr abseil to a small ledge with belay point.
West facing so takes some serious beating from the sea,
Some of the bolts are rusty and the route does not see much
traffic,so climb this with Caution!!..
But well worth the risk,just ask John.
Great day,so what you waiting for???.....
