**UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Spain**

I’ve been working as a guide in Picos de Europa since 1997, and it’s a mountain range that I love. I was trained in Benasque’s Mountaineering school to become UIAGM/IFMGA internationally certified guide, and I am member of the AEGM, Spanish Mountain Guides Association.

After working in Patagonia, New Zealand, the Alps and Turkey, I chose Picos de Europe to practice the best profession in the world, and to share this mountains with all those willing to come.

I also have a University degree in Nursing, and am registered and certified as guide in Picos de Europa National Park.

**So contact me if you are interested in discovering this beautiful mountains, I’ll be glad to guide you there!**

The **Naranjo de Bulnes** or **Pico Urriellu** is one of the most exciting ascents in the **Picos de Europa region**. This fantastic limestone mountain lies within the **Macizo Central** in the province of **Asturias, Spain**. And one of the best routes we can approach its summit is via the **South Face**. So let me guide you, on this thrilling expedition to the top of **Naranjo de Bulnes**.

Our route, via the **South Face** begins in the **central part**, or **_zocalo_**. Then we will divide the ascent in two parts.

This is a moderately challenging route. Hence, making the summit of **Naranjo de Bulnes** accessible to those that don’t necessarily have technical mountaineering experience. To stand at the top of _**the king of Picos de Europa**_, all you need is a **good fitness level**, and be willing to challenge yourself.

The **first part** consists in about **110 meters** divided in **four longs**. First we’ll ascend around **15 meters** with some channels almost vertical. Secondly, we’ll climb approximately **40 meters**, connecting with a fissure which ascends into a series of niches. Then, the **third long** is the shortest and easiest. As its **25 meters** don’t even reach **IVº**. And the **fourth one**, **ranked IV+** consists in about **30 meters** that will separate us from the **amphitheater**.

Finally, once we reach the **amphitheater** the summit will almost be ours. This **second part is not difficult**. But we need to be careful as we’ll encounter lose rocks. So, we’ll climb this part with ropes. And I’ll make sure we follow all the rules to **ensure your safety**.

**You cannot miss this experience. So request to book this trip and let me have the pleasure to guide you to the top of Naranjo de Bulnes.**

##### Follow me on this **fantastic guided** ascent to the summit of **Torre Cerredo**.

There are different routes we can take. One departs from the charming **Jou de los Cabrones** **refuge**. But the most popular and shortest one begins at the **Urriellu refuge**. We normally stay there for the night and take off early next morning. We pass the **Cerredo base, Corona del Raso**, as well as **Horcada Arenera** and **Jou de Cerredo**. This takes approximately 2 or 2h 30. Then, once we reach the base of this face, we’ll see an area known as **_zocalo_**, which leads to a path that take us to the final part of the ascent.

The final stretch passes through a canal and enters a ramp that ranks  **IIº /IIº+**. It is not a difficult part. However, we’ll encounter some lose rocks. Hence, we’ll extreme our precautions. Finally, we will reach a balcony. After which, we will be able to stand at the top of **Torre Cerredo**. Finally, we’ll descend through the same route. Or, we can pick a different one, returning through the **Horcada Don Carlos**.

Even though it is **not a complicated ascent**, we’ll be using **ropes and helmets**. And I’ll make sure we follow **all the rules to make sure you are safe**.  My **main objectives** during this ascent is that you **reach the summit safely**, and that you **have an incredible time**. I also want to share with you my **favorite spots**. And of course, I want you to get the **most mesmerizing views of the area**.

**So don’t hesitate and request to book this trip. It will be my pleasure to be your guide on this amazing adventure to the summit of Torre Cerredo.**
