Description
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.

Mountain Guide
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.

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!

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.
