Andorra Climbing

We headed off on our turbo adventure south from France to meet up with Bern, Paul and Isabel in Spain. Our route took us through the Pyrenees towards Barcelona, absolutely stunning country.

Sometimes it's hard to get climbing in when you are moving quickly across a lot of ground. What you really need is for someone to build a gigantic climbing pinnacle right on the side of the highway in spectacular settings. Of course it needs to be open to the public (or the sign's need to be able to be interpreted that way:)

Thank you ANDORRA!!!!

As we drove through Andorra, we stumbled upon this huge man-made pinnacle, set up for climbing – yayyy! Mum and Dad Steggles watched on as Nathan led one of the hardest climbs we have ever done. It was made slightly harder due to some of the holds being a little loose (the anchors all looked good though) And he didn’t fall off! I found the climb super hard to do on top rope. We were exhausted after just one climb but very satisfied that we managed to do a climb in yet another country – yayyy! p.s. Andorra is stunning! And tax free!!
