New regulations/law in Albarracín = No chalk

Just some few days ago, the new regulations for climbing in Albarracín were published in the B.O.A., which is the Official Bulletin for such autonomous region. These are the main points which everybody should strictly follow if you do not want to get fined and/or make things worse: 1. Sport climbing requiring non-removable or removable protection is forbidden. 2. Bouldering is allowed just on the indicated areas. However, within these areas climbing is forbidden on boulders which can be seen from the road from Albarracín to Donarque, as well as in a 30 metre radius around the cave paintings. 3. Climbing is restricted from an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset. 4. Magnesium, tick-marks and any other product that leaves marks on the rock surface is prohibited.
