Sport and traditional climbing in the Alcoy area
Around La Cova House there are several active climbing areas maintained by the local climbing community:

3.1. Barranc del Cint – Pico de las Águilas / Cova del Morter (Alcoy)

• Climbing sectors on the walls of Barranc del Cint and on Pico de las Águilas, with topos collected in specific guides such as “Escalada Alcoià i Comtat” and online resources.
• Spectacular setting (gorge, griffon vultures) and a mix of sport routes and multi‑pitch lines.

3.2. El Castellar (near Alcoy)

• Sport climbing area on a wall near Alcoy, with 15–25 minutes approach depending on the sector.
• Sectors with mid/high grades; very popular in summer due to orientation and shade in the upper part.

3.3. Peña del Flare (Muro de Alcoy)

• 80–130 m wall, predominantly north‑facing, with athletic climbing; mix of bolted routes and some sections where cams/nuts are recommended.
• Good option for hot days (shade and elevation).

3.4. Other areas in Alcoià–Comtat

• The set of sectors in the area is grouped in guides and resources such as “Escalada en Alcoy” and the list of “35 best climbing areas in Alicante”, including walls near Alcoy, Cocentaina and other nearby towns.
• This allows offering climbers several options within a short drive, with downloadable topos.
