Climbing contest comes to Fuerteventura

Climbers from around the world will be making their way to Fuerteventura this summer to prove their worth on the area's climbing walls.

Having started at the Pilar de la Hordada, the Spanish climbing cup comes to the Grand Canaria island of Fuerteventura and, on Baku, one of Spain's top 30 walls will test contestants gripping, crimping, and rocking over.

The competition, which is open to both juniors and seniors, highlights a growing culture of climbing that offers both residents and tourists a new reason to go to the Canary Islands.

Not only do the islands enjoy marvellous weather and spectacular scenery but they are developing climbing on walls as well as exploiting the natural climbing areas that nature has blessed the island with.

The quality of the climbing is proven by the fact that top name Spanish climbers will be mounting the walls on June 2nd and 3rd.

With cheap flights to Fuerteventura, indulging in the energetic adrenaline sport has become more accessible.
