Description

If you’re an experienced climber looking for a unique climb, you can’t miss this chance in Picos de Europa.

I would like to invite you to discover a limestone sea on the “Palacio de Invierno” route or Winter Palace in the Picos de Europa Massif. Come with me on this 1-day trip in Cantabria. You won’t regret your choice!

If you follow me on this trip, we’ll discover a jewel inside the Picos de Europa National Park. During the climb, we’ll enjoy crossing a perfect wall with excellent rock quality. We’ll meet in the Fuente Dé cable car, in the Liébana comarca, and take the Palacio de Invierno route.

Please, keep in mind that this program is for solid 6b climbers that can tackle 4 hours of hiking and 800 meters of elevation gain. Also, keep in mind that the trip has a total duration of 8 hours.

So, do you think this rock climbing day would suit you? If that’s so, then all you need to do is send the request and make your reservation. I’ll be happy to guide this climb in Picos de Europa.

About the guide

Pablo Santiago

Mountain Guide

Based in Picos de Europa (Spain). Born in 1982, at the age of three I had my first contact with the mountains when my family took me skiing at the ski resort near my home.

Ever since then, I practiced consistently, developing an interest in climbing, skiing and trekking. I had always felt a special curiosity and attraction for alpinism and winter mountaineering and ever since then I have enjoyed the continuous learning process, climbing up some of the most emblematic mountains in Spain and abroad (France, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, USA, Morocco, Patagonia…)

After a few years working as a computer engineer where I felt that every day at office was “a wasted day”, I decided to leave everything and go for what really made me happy, to continue my mountain guide education and to head in the direction where I really wanted to go rather than just dreaming about it. I wanted everyday to count and to be able to share and transmit everything that the mountains mean to me.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
