The approach is short and easy and is has a safe area behind the boulder El Dau which makes a perfect spot for families.
The climbing itself is very technical and tiny footholds, balancy moves, slopers and mantel top outs are all well represented. Technique is a must here altohugh you can can also find jugs, crimps, dynos and such, if you know where to look for them.

The best season to climb in Savassona is spring, winter or autumn. Winter provides high grip but there is a chance of persistent fog during the day. Spring and autumn are more humid but still with good grip. Climbing in summer is possible as most boulders are in the shade but grip is worse because of high temperatures. Remember that it's completely forbidden to climb on wet sandstone as it breaks very easily!
Please be respectful of the rock, clean the magnesium and climbing in 72 hours after an intense period of rain the rock is very fragile, there are many blocks that are being rapidly degraded by the use of wire brushes and climbing after periods of rain.!

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!
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.
