On the south face of the Sierra de Guadarrama, there is this unique environment and labyrinthine nature: La Pedriza.
The environmental value of this place is immeasurable, that is why it is under the protection of the National Park, for its exuberant fauna that we will come across if we go far enough, for its magnificent flora, geology and above all the sensation of well-being that is felt inside.
The striking shapes of the cliffs invite us to climb them. The granite in La Pedriza is especially whimsical and takes multiple forms. The skills and technique that we will put into practice are multiple and varied.
We will move on plates with few grips, we will grab giant shuttles, we will use cracks of all sizes, we may have to do some artificial climbing steps. Depending on what attracts you the most, your guide will advise you which route to take.
