This crag is located in the town of La Riba in Tarragona, Catalunya.
🧗♂️🧗♀️
Overall La Riba offers up to 300 routes with an eroded limestone rock type full with pockets and crimps.
There is a lot of variety from easy lowballs for children to high mental slabs and great physical overhangs.
The style is mostly fingery and powerful with mostly easy and medium grades. There are some projects still to free if you are hunting FAs and som hard grades worth doing.
Some super classic lines here would be:
- El druida alcoiano 7C
- La font 7A
- Romofobia 7A
- El trapezista 6C
- El cranc 6C
- El balcó 6B
- La cansaladeta 6A+
☀️❄️
The best season to climb in La Riba is spring and autumn which provides good grip without being that hot or cold. But climbing here is often done in summer because of its peculiar location, with lots of shade and the river nearby, where you can refresh after climbing.

Besides all the route information, the constantly growing 27 Crags Premium topos have GPS coordinates for each boulder and offline use in the app. These guarantee you won't get lost while navigating to the right rock and that bad internet connection won't stop you browsing the topos!
This topo is mainly based on the guide La Riba Escalada en Bloc which can be bought in the bar of the village. More information about this zone can be found in: https://www.madboulder.org/la-riba. Still under development it will be updated periodically adding the last information and updating any error, don't hesitate to leave your comments!
As in all the climbing areas, behaving correctly is crucial. No littering, no climbing on wet rock, brush away all the tick marks and stay on the obvious paths. Remember that we are in private property and access can be revoked!!
