Portugal rock climbing photographs

Hugo Peniche climbing Circus, F7c+ at Buracus do Casmilo

The photograph opposite shows Hugo Peniche climbing Circus, F7c+ at Buracus do Casmilo, in the Serra do Sico Mountains to the north of Lisbon. This limestone crag features a mixture of technical walls and powerful routes through caves, with many routes in the F6b to F8a grade range.

The Serra do Sico Mountains are located near the town of Leiria, to the north of Lisbon, where there are 3 excellent sport climbing crags, Redinha, Vale de Poios, and Buracus do Casmilo. All of these crags are situated in pleasant hills and their altitude makes them perfect to escape the hot sun, as they are significantly cooler than the coast
