Description

Pedraforca is a unique and beautiful place in the stunning Pyrenees, widely regarded for having some of the best rock climbing in Catalonia!

Over the course of our day together, we will head out and scale the massive rocky peak, which is renowned for its bifid tongue shape and high-quality climbing surfaces.

The adventure begins after we meet up in the idyllic town of Saldes at 9 am, just to the southeast of the mountain. From here, we'll take a short drive to the trailhead and hike to the base of the peak.

Pedraforca is mostly composed of high-quality limestone and the surface of the mountain is covered in cracks and holes. After doing some warm up exercises at the base of the peak, we'll start to make our way up it.

We'll climb on the north face of Pedraforca, providing us with plenty pf sunlight and preventing us from getting too cold while out on the rock.

The route we will follow has 8 pitches and is a total length of 180 metres (590 feet). From the top of the mountain, we'll enjoy plenty of incredible panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valley.

When we're done, we'll rappel down roughly 10 metres (33 feet) and hike back to the trailhead.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and exciting full-day adventure rock climbing in Catalonia!

Man

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.
