Ascend Veleta Peak in Sierra Nevada, Spain

Jump into a challenging and rewarding climb in Silvia route, located on the North face of Veleta; one of the most striking and representative mountains in the Sierra Nevada. Veleta may not be the highest mountain, but it is perhaps the most striking and representative of the massif. With its 3,398 meters (11,148 feet) and shark fin-like shape, it stands imposingly over the city of Granada.

The Silvia climbing route has a maximum difficulty level of grade V along its 200 meters (656 feet) in an alpine and incredibly beautiful environment. It is one of the highest classic climbing routes in the entire peninsula.

The climb begins on a steep face of rock. The first few pitches are the most difficult, as they require climbers to use their hands and feet to climb up the rock face. The final pitch of the climb is a short, but challenging, overhang. As you reach the summit, you'll be able to witness the incredible view from atop Veleta. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

If you have a higher skill level, you can also climb routes of excellent quality like the overhangs of Veleta and the Minos labyrinth, with grades reaching around 6c. Don't hesitate to ask me for any advice to assist you as best as possible.
