Description

Naranjo de Bulnes (2,519 m), or Picu Urriellu is the most representative mountain in the Picos de Europa, mountain range.

This colossal limestone peak is located in the Central Massif, in Asturias, Spain. Join me on this guided ascent via the South Face. Due to the location of this route, it is a fairly straight ascent. Hence it is the easiest, fastest and most accessible route to the top of Picu. Also, there are rappelling areas available in both sides of the normal route.

The itinerary I recommend departs from the refuge, taking the road that leads us to the Celada Canal, just under the North Face of Naranjo de Bulnes. Thereupon, the trekking ahead is pretty relaxed until the bivouac shelters’ area at the South Face. Then we’ll put on a helmet and start climbing through a series of steps following our route, with five different sections.

The first one is short but with a Vº pass at the initial part. Then, the second section begins with an easy path, followed by a straight road that will lead us to the third section. After completing the third part, culminating in a area with parabolts and a chain, we’ll begin the fourth section of our ascent, with holes, fairways and a IV+ pass. Finally we’ll reach the fifth and last section of about 40 meters.

And once we reach the summit of Naranjo de Bulnes, we will get the absolutely most mesmerizing views of Picos de Europa.

If you want to join this amazing mountaineering adventure, send me a request. I promise it will be an unforgettable trip.

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.
