About Mascarat Gorge

Deep, narrow gorge between Calpe and Altea — both sides climbed, most sectors shaded for the majority of the day. The shelter that makes it a perfect summer venue also makes it the slowest-drying crag on the Costa Blanca: water seeps from the upper rim for 24–48h after heavy rain. The steep overhangs stay climbable in light drizzle but slabs need a clear day to dry.
