In the Oliana valley, at Coll de Nargo, a small road leads to the hamlet of Perles and more precisely to the incredible limestone cliff of Roc d'en Sola. A neighbor of Putes Mosques, the Amistades Pelirrojas route climbs a superb, almost vertical slab with 4 pitches of sustained 6a climbing. Airy and varied, it takes advantage of the wild and peaceful atmosphere of Alt Urgell.

From the C14, just above Organya, before Andorra, turn towards Figols and Cambrils, crossing the Segre. Continue on this small road (L401), leaving the fork on the left towards Figols, and after 9 km you'll arrive under the cliffs (on the left). Park on the side of the road just before Perles or as you enter the village (small square with fountain).
Take the signposted path upwards opposite the village entrance. Climb gently towards the Roc d'en Sola, which is clearly visible. When you reach the base (characteristic roof and orange slab), leave the path to reach the foot of the tracks. The trail starts under shrubs at the base of the roof, the 1st point shared with Putes Mosques.
Either walk back down (not tried) or descend the ridge for 30m to the Mac Gregor a su Pesar and Alinyencs sport routes just below. We return a few meters from the start of the route.
