Description

If you’re an experienced climber looking for a unique climb, you can’t miss this chance in Picos de Europa.

I would like to invite you to discover a limestone sea on the “Palacio de Invierno” route or Winter Palace in the Picos de Europa Massif. Come with me on this 1-day trip in Cantabria. You won’t regret your choice!

If you follow me on this trip, we’ll discover a jewel inside the Picos de Europa National Park. During the climb, we’ll enjoy crossing a perfect wall with excellent rock quality. We’ll meet in the Fuente Dé cable car, in the Liébana comarca, and take the Palacio de Invierno route.

Please, keep in mind that this program is for solid 6b climbers that can tackle 4 hours of hiking and 800 meters of elevation gain. Also, keep in mind that the trip has a total duration of 8 hours.

So, do you think this rock climbing day would suit you? If that’s so, then all you need to do is send the request and make your reservation. I’ll be happy to guide this climb in Picos de Europa.

In addition, you can take a look at this rock climbing day that I lead in Cueto Agero, also in Picos de Europa.

About the guide

Pablo Santiago

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.
