What to take to on a sun rock trip,  Cef and Rob's view

Try to pack light, rather than taking everything, mostly it'll be warm and sunny and easy living, 
you don't need tons of stuff and 'glad rags' for going out posh and 10 pairs of shoes. They do
have shops as well !

Remember we have to get this all in the cars and on our laps and our weight limit 15kg (+ handluggae)
Suitcases are not great for handling and sometimes they weigh 3Kg, holdalls are light. 

What we consider    * essential
                    + advised
                    o optional
                    - leave it at home

Climbing gear between partners
    * 50-60-70m metre single rope (or doubles)
    * 10-15 Quick Draws (plus extendable trad  quick draws are a good idea)
    + Some sort of rope bag or bucket ( helps stop the dust and dirt getting onto   your rope, 
      ikea blue bags are excellent, and supermarket reusable bags are   pretty good rope buckets)
    o a small rack of wires (sizes 1..8)
    - hexes and heavy stuff - unless you intend doing LOTS of trad routes.
    - Big friends, if you want to take friends small ones 1..3 are best
 
Personal Climbing gear
    * Harness 
    * Belay device ( that can take two ropes eg ATC/BUG) and large screwgate
    * Rock shoes
    + Helmet
    + Chalk bag + chalk (take a new chalk ball it will last a week)
    * 1 or 2 slings (2ft is fine, 4ft is also ok)
    * 1 spare screw gate ( 2 is better)
    + 1 or 2 prussik loops (1.5 meter of 4/5/6mm cord)
    + 'a leaver biner' or mailion in case you have to abandon a route and lower     down

Clothing and other Gear
    + Approach shoes/trainers/light summer boots
    o Sandals
    + Warm coat for belaying in (Duvet are ideal as light and warm -we have seen snow in Spain 
      for the last few years - followed by sunshine)
    + Lightweight Waterproof Jacket
    + thermal top incase its cold
    + t-shirts or other to climb in
    + fleece/jumper/sweatshirt to climb in 
    + thin gloves stretchy liner ones are ideal
    + hat/beanie/
    - Heavy coats, thick stuff, if its that cold we wont be climbing !
    * small day sac for carrying it in, an maybe for a walk on rest day
    * first aid kit (plasters, headache tablets, sun cream, lib balm, ...)
    + ear plugs
    o finger repair - to look after your skin.
    * small headtorch 
    + camera (batteries charger, film /memory card ...)
    + books for evening
    o drinks bottle (or pick one up out there)
    
And of course all you usual stuff
    undies, socks, lounging about clothes, ...
    towel, wash kit (you are only gong for a week so don't need 3 litres of shampoo etc)
    persil for washing out clothes (or bring 10 pairs of knickers!)
    
Food etc (sometimes it can be a good idea to take little things that are hard to get ...)
        tea bags (presume the Italians do coffee :-)
        chilli & spices
        favourite energy bar  (alpen, tracker you can buy some there but they are often odd!)
        pork pies :-)
