Sierra de Guara (Peña Predicadera)

Peña Predicadera is a line of conglomerate spurs and towers, 100 to 220 m high, in the south-west of the Sierra de Guara, east of the Vadiello reservoir, north-east of Huesca in Aragón. The rock is a compact, very grippy calcareous conglomerate (tillite), and the crag was neglected for years before many of its 1980s routes were rebolted and new ones added, so it now offers well-bolted multipitches at modest grades. You drive from Huesca via Ibieca to the La Tejería car park at the end of a gravel track towards San Cosme, then walk about 40 minutes to the routes. It lies inside the Guara natural park; the park's climbing order lists it as open all year, but closures for nesting raptors applied in the past, so check the current rules. The walls face south and south-east, which makes autumn, winter days and spring the best time; summer is very hot.
