Description

Sierra Nevada is an amazing destination for adventure climbers. Join me on this Veleta North Face (3,396 m) one day guided ascent and conquer the second highest peak of this mountain range!

Reaching the summit of Veleta through its North Face, might be one of the most thrilling mountaineering adventures in Spain. Due to its characteristic shape, Veleta has become very popular among Spanish climbers and a kind of ‘sign of identity’ of this region.

Our expedition will start in Hoya de la Mora (2,500 m) and along our journey, we’ll be surrounded by the impressive views of the north walls of Veleta. Once we reach the bottom of this summit’s north corridor, we’ll face a slope of about 50 degrees of inclination. Through rocks, snow and with enthusiasm, we’ll reach the summit through a well-known climb known as the “Fidel-Fierro”. As you can see, this program is for intermediate and advanced climbers only and it’s essential to be in good physical condition.

So, if you are ready to join me on this mountaineering expedition, request to book this trip and get ready for an experience you’ll never forget!

And for those climbers who are looking for a less challenging program, you can also join me on this 1-day guided ascent on Cartujo North Face in Sierra Nevada

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.
