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.

EXCELENTE A base de 366 reseñas Publicado en Google M SETrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Un placer haber conseguido mi sueño de escalar Pico Urrieullu de la mano de Pablo. Este 15 de Agosto subimos "Amistad con el diablo, + los 2 ultimos largos de Cepeda y cumbre". He encontrado en Pablo exactamente lo que buscaba, seguridad y profesionalidad. Además me he llevado sin esperarlo conocimientos técnicos, del entorno natural y gastronomicos. ¡¡¡Qué más se puede pedir!!! Seguro que repetiré. Unos años más tarde volvemos a encontrarnos Y está vez en La Murciana! Aventurón! La próxima vez te echaré una llamada para un barranco o un trekking con familia incluida. Me llamó mucho la atención todo lo que me comentaste. Un abrazo señor!Publicado en Google Ana Maturana Mc CulloughTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Hemos hecho la Vía Ferrata de Camaleño y el Barranco del Naveo y no nos lo hemos podido pasar mejor. Completamente recomendable!!!! Diez de diez. Aparte de ser súper simpático, Pablo aporta seguridad y confianza durante toda la actividad, nos lo hemos pasado pipa. Muchas gracias!!!Publicado en Google Perry LaukensTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a great afternoon with Pablo. Not only is he very professional, keeping a good eye on safety, he is also entertaining, motivated to have a good time together and patient (‘ok guys, we take it little by little’ 😃). He also gave us good tips for food and hiking. We would definitely recommend to book the private tour we did with Pablo!Publicado en Google Tal TavorTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.

It was our first real climbing tour and we did it! 💪🏼 with a big smile on the face! We will not forget this tour with Pablo!Publicado en Google Emma KTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a fantastic time with Pablo!! We booked a Via ferrata and even before the activity he was very clear on what we needed to bring and what was to be expected. The activity itself was amazing. He guided us through everything and was very enthusiastic and encouraging. He was very helpful to my father that at some points had a bit of difficulty, and helped guide him the whole way. And the pictures he took are fantastic. It was a pleasure and we would definitely recommend it to anyone.Publicado en Google Marie PaulyTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Fantastica expériencia de canyoning ! Muchas gracias a Pablo y Oscar 🙏🏼🙏🏼😍Publicado en Google Isaac MeltsnerTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. My girlfriend and I went on a 1 day trip with Pablo in the Picos De Europa. We climbed two crags, the Aguja de la Canalona and Aguja de Bustamante. Pablo provided an amazing experience for us. It was our first time climbing natural rock, and Pablo provided any gear we were missing, and made sure we were safe throughout the trip. He also offered interesting facts about the area, as well as useful tips for hiking and climbing. After the trip, he recommended other places to explore, and provided over 200 excellent photos of the experience. Overall, we had an unforgettable day, and I would definitely recommend Pablo as a guide to anyone who wants to experience the Picos De Europa.Publicado en Google Miguel Rodriguez MorellTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
