Description

Picos de Europa is a region with a well-deserved reputation as one of the best climbing spots of the world. This is your chance to climb its Mayara route and discover it for yourself!

The Picos de Europa (Spanish for “Peaks of Europe”) is a 20-km long mountain range part of the Cantabrian Mountains, in northern Spain. It consists on three massifs -Urrieles, Ándara and Picos de Cornión-, and its highest point is Torre de Cerredo (2650m).

Almost all of the walls of Picos de Europa are limestone, and the glacial action has contributed to create an impressive alpine karst. This beautiful alpine scenery, which usually has nice weather, offers lots of wild spots to discover.

On this day outing, we will meet in Fuente Dé and head up the Mayara, one of the most popular routes of the area. High quality limestone rock and awesome spires await us!

Please keep in mind that this day trip requires at least a 6a sport climbing level and some trad climbing experience. Of course, you will not be alone as I will help and guide you on the way. 

So, if you want to enjoy an exciting rock climbing day in Picos de Europa, please get in touch with me. Let me guide you through the stunning Mayara route!

Mountain Guide

Based in Picos de Europa (Spain). Born in 1982, at the age of three I had my first contact with the mountains when my family took me skiing at the ski resort near my home.

Ever since then, I practiced consistently, developing an interest in climbing, skiing and trekking. I had always felt a special curiosity and attraction for alpinism and winter mountaineering and ever since then I have enjoyed the continuous learning process, climbing up some of the most emblematic mountains in Spain and abroad (France, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, USA, Morocco, Patagonia…)

After a few years working as a computer engineer where I felt that every day at office was “a wasted day”, I decided to leave everything and go for what really made me happy, to continue my mountain guide education and to head in the direction where I really wanted to go rather than just dreaming about it. I wanted everyday to count and to be able to share and transmit everything that the mountains mean to me.

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!

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.
