Description

If you are looking for an easy rock climbing experience in the Picos de Europa mountain range, I invite you to join me on this rock climbing day tour in the Aguja de la Canalona (Canalona Needle), in the Cantabria province in northern Spain.

The Aguja de la Canalona (2519m) is situated in the Picos de Europa central Massif, on the way up to the Peña Vieja peak. It is an easy and short climb by the normal route, consisting of a wall of about 11o meters, offering great panoramic views from the summit.

It is one of the most popular climbs of the Picos de Europa, due to its amazing summit and stunning views and its low level of difficulty (maximum grade IV). The approximation takes about 2 hours.

The Aguja de la Canalona is usually recommended to mountain enthusiasts looking to venture themselves into alpine climbing. The route was opened in 1948 by José A. Odriozola and Alfonso Alonso, together with Alfonso and Juan Tomás Martínez, guides of Cabrales at that time.

This climb is graded as Basic Level, this means in order to join this trip you need to be used to mountain routes of 4 to 6 hours, with a positive altitude difference of 800 meters. But most important, you need to have a positive attitude and motivation!

Just send me a request if you want to join me on this climbing trip. It is a great basic climbing experience in the Picos de Europa. If you are looking for another climbing trip, check out this Naranjo de Bulnes guided climb. or the [Camaleño Via Ferrata](http://Camaleño Via Ferrata).

We climbed the Espolón rojizo with Pablo in July 2020. Although we have some experience climbing indoors, it was our first time rock climbing. We had a fantastic time with Pablo, he is very knowledgeable in climbing and about the area. He made us feel very safe all along the climb and descent. We will definitely be coming back for some more rock climbing!
