Moya Climbing Crag

Moya is one of the most complete climbing areas in Gran Canaria, with several sectors, a broad spread of grades and enough variety to keep different types of climbers interested. It is a crag where you can find easier routes, mid-grade mileage and some harder lines, all within an area that feels more extensive and diverse than it may first appear.

If you want to get more out of the area without wasting time figuring everything out on your own, you can climb Moya in Gran Canaria with a local guide. That can be especially useful here because the crag has several sectors, route grades that are sometimes debated and enough options to make local judgement genuinely valuable.

Many of the original route grades in Moya are disputed, so the grades shown here reflect what most climbers currently believe they are. They may not always match what is written on the wall, but the difference is usually only half a grade up or down. When in doubt, the route lines and start references are generally clear enough to keep things straightforward.

Paraiso Sector

Paraiso is one of the main reference sectors in Moya, with several sub-areas and a route spread that already shows how broad this crag can be. It combines short, varied walls with harder lines and enough options to build a full session around this part of the area alone.
