Climbing Torre Blanca with guide (2619mts)
Guided technical ascents in the Picos de Europa – Central Massif
The summit of Torre Blanca is located in the central massif of the Picos de Europa.
It has spectacular views over the Hoyo Tras Llambrión, over the Vega de Liordes and over the Urrieles massif, the heart of the Central Massif of the Picos de Europa.
Its relatively easy approach and the magnificent limestone rock on the ridge during the ascent make this technical ascent a real pleasure for those who want to enter the world of technical ascents using a rope, harness and helmet.
If we add to all this its beautiful approach and a stop at the Cabaña Verónica hut for a good snack and a refreshment, we will have a very complete and pleasant activity.

Taking as a starting point the upper station of the Fuente De cable car, we will walk towards Veronica cabin by the comfortable track with hardly any slope, passing under the great walls of Peña Olvidada and enjoying a splendid view to the North where we can see the great wall of the Torre de los Horcados Rojos, the Pico Tesorero and the Lloroza lakes at our feet.
We will reach the point known as the Vueltona, here the path becomes narrower and we begin to gain altitude until we reach the junction of the Canalona and Peña Vieja. (Up to this point approximately 1 hour and about 350 meters of positive difference in altitude).
From this point the path is more comfortable and we will see in front of us the great south wall of Horcados Rojos, we will pass under it until we turn off to the left and arrive at Refugio de Cabaña Verónica, through which we will have to pass.
From this point onwards, the path becomes more technical and less obvious, with some easy climbs and slopes with hardly any gradient until you reach the Collada Blanca, (approximately 40 minutes from Cabaña Verónica).
Once in La Collada Blanca (2372mts) we will equip ourselves with harness, helmet and rope in the Bivouacs del Collado, we can also leave extra weight and some material here to climb lighter.
The ascent starts on a very easy and beautiful ridge, with high quality rock until we reach the most vertical point, at this point we must leave the ridge and flank to the left along a path until we reach a kind of funnel, after overcoming it we will have about 60 metres to the summit, already on good rock and with a great atmosphere of verticality over the Hoyo Tras Llambrión. (Approximately 1 hour from the pass to this point).
Once at the summit we will enjoy the spectacle of the views, after a snack and some photographs we will descend on foot along the normal access route to the summit until we reach the Collada Blanca, where we will remove our equipment and return to Cabaña Verónica.
Once at Cabaña Verónica we can have a snack and enjoy a few minutes of relaxation, as from here we can only continue on our way to the cable car.
The guide, once the reservation has been made, will inform the participant of the meeting time and place, which will depend on the timetable of the Fuente De cable car and the time of the year.

Hij is heel persoonlijk en legt alles goed uit. We hebben met hem de via ferrata Camaleño gedaan en dat was echt super tof! Doordat we met z’n drieën waren konden we op ons eigen tempo klimmen.
