Description

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.

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!

Maxine

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.
