Description

It is a pleasure for me to invite you to conquer the highest summit of the Iberian Peninsula!

The Almanzor, with its 2591 meters of altitude, is the highest peak of all the Central System mountain range. It rises over a wide amount of crests, granite spires, gorges and lagoons. That is why, from its summit you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the region.

Please keep in mind that reaching the Almanzor's summit supposes a unique experience of which it is worth to enjoy. So, be sure to do it with maximum security by the hand of a high mountain UIAGM guide, like me. I have climbed this peak hundreds of times and can guarantee the safest adventure!

We can do this summit in one or two days, according to the level and experience of the participants. If it's your first time in the mountains we can rest and spend the night in a hut next to the Laguna Grande. I'll pick you up early the next morning to start the return. On the contrary, we can depart from Hoyos del Espino, climb the Almanzor and go back down the same day.

Furthermore, this trip can be combined with another exciting climbing program in the area. After or before the Almanzor, we can go for some rock climbing in the needles of Los Galayos in this 2-day alpine adventure.

Don't wait any longer and get in touch with me. Let's plan your next trip in the Central System in company of a local mountain guide who knows the region better than anyone!

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Spain

I´ve climbed the most classical peaks in my country and in the Alps, and participated in trips and expeditions to iconic mountaineering destinations, such as Patagonia, the Himalayas, Yosemite, the Andes, Caucasus, Greenland, Africa and Alaska.

I’m happy cause I achieved what I always dreamed of as a child, and thought it was impossible: to live by and for the mountains.

I like to guide clients all around the world, but also to teach and work as an instructor, offering climbing and mountaineering courses.

I’m the former Director of Studies of Benasque’s Mountaineering School, and I’m now the Technical Director of Gredos Alpine School.

Starting as Guide assistant y ended up forming professional mountaineers. And in between, many years of routes, walls, summits, and thousands of kilometers to achieve the highest mountain guide certification, and make my dream come true.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
