Terradets
The Venue
Terradets is a limestone gorge in Lleida province with two distinct identities. Paret de les Bruixes ("the Witches Wall") is a steep, tufa-streaked sport wall known for hard, sustained routes. A short distance away, Paret de les Bagasses and Roca Regina hold some of the longest multi-pitch trad and aid routes in the wider Lleida climbing region, several exceeding 500m.
This is a destination for climbers who know exactly which side of it they came for - the two disciplines have separate grade ranges, gear needs and days out, and this page keeps them separate throughout.
