The mountain guide profession is my passion. I have been working all over the world for 20 years.  
My specialties are rock climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, canyoning and whitewater.

As an athlete, I love getting to know new places, rivers, mountains, ravines or any activity that is an adventure. The last few winters I work as a guide in Antarctica. Perhaps it is the most special work of all that I have done.

  
In short, I am a lover of my work. I love sharing it and enjoying it with the people I do the activity with.

What people are saying about {{text}}

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.

Veleta is a jewel that you shouldn't miss, **contact me today to secure your spot on this amazing climbing trip!**

8:00 AM: Meeting at the University Hostel of Sierra Nevada (subject to changes depending on the time of year and weather conditions).

8:30 AM: Bus transportation to the parking area where we begin the approach (15 minutes).

4:00 PM: Farewell and return home.

Ascend Sierra Nevada

Delve into the thrilling Silvia route, situated on the North face of Veleta with an experienced local guide.

Ascend Veleta Peak in Sierra Nevada, Spain

There is no wilder way to **explore Sierra Nevada** than through its ridges and spurs, which can be enjoyed both in the summer and winter seasons.

In summer, it is a true pleasure to undertake these incredible ascents in a cool environment, surrounded by a remote and solitary setting that will make you **feel the greatness of these mountains.** Surrounded by high mountain lakes, foxes, goats, and alpine meadows, this experience will be unforgettable.

Here are some of the best ridges that we can tackle:

*   **Alcazaba Spur** \- Climbing Alcazaba via its North or West face always poses a significant challenge. In my opinion, it is the most impressive mountain in Sierra Nevada. With over 1000 meters of terrain to traverse, it will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on you.
    
*   **East Ridge of Mulhacén** \- Mulhacén reigns as the queen of the mountains in the Iberian Peninsula. There is no better way to conquer it than by traversing its graceful East ridge.
    
*   **Campanario and Fidel Fierro Ridges to Veleta** - Undoubtedly, the most beautiful ridge in Sierra Nevada and the best way to reach the summit of Veleta peak. One of the must-do experiences that you cannot miss.
    
*   **Raspones del Río Seco** \- This captivating natural formation presents a mix of rocky surfaces, scree slopes, and exposed sections, making it ideal for climbers and hikers seeking to test their skills.
    
*   **Northwest Spur of Puntal de la Caldera** - Experience over 500 meters of thrilling ascents amidst a breathtaking landscape, all while enjoying the panoramic view of Laguna Larga beneath your feet. This is truly one of my personal favorites.
    
*   **Arista de la Ruptura Democrática to Juego de Bolos** - The last 100 meters of climbing are truly incredible. It's a very sharp ridge with a high-mountain atmosphere.
    
*   **Three-day journey ascending Alcazaba, Mulhacén, and Veleta through their ridges and spurs.** - To discover the heart of Sierra Nevada, there is no better way than embarking on a three-day journey ascending the three most representative North faces of the massif.
