The 80 routes presented in this climbing guide are spread across the central massif of the Picos de Europa, especially on the Picu Urriellu. Due to the different orientation of the walls, if you have mastered alpine climbing and the difficulty, you can choose a multi-pitch route on these really beautiful and imposing peaks in the Picos de Europa depending on the temperature and the desired position of the sun.The climbing guide describes in three languages the location, access, accommodation, drinking water sources, season and climate and of course in great detail (with photo topo, but only in Spanish) the individual pitches of each route.Of course also in three languages and with color photo topo and site plan.320 pagesSpanish, with summaries in French and EnglishEdition 2024A.

Identical in structure to the Picos de Europa guide, this volume discusses another 37 alpine pleasure trails in the Picos. The selection criterion for the trails included in this volume was their geographical location. Only routes in the vicinity of Fuente Dé are described. Almost all routes are easily accessible from the top station of the cable car there - El Cable. The issue of access is thus significantly mitigated in the case of a corresponding undertaking.Another selection criterion for this guide was the degree of difficulty of the routes included. These lie between the 3rd and 5th degree. The longest path measures a proud 800 meters of climbing, the average is 100 - 200m.All the routes are described in detail. For this purpose, they have been divided into their individual lengths - among other things, information on grade, detailed description of the route, required and to be found material (mostly very manageable), alternatives to bypass difficult passages. The course of the path is also shown in color photos.Sketches for ascent and descent were omitted in the guide, but the corresponding descriptions are sufficient - as far as one is able to speak Spanish. Here lies the crux of the guide. Without sufficient knowledge of Spanish, one cannot avoid a dictionary.208 pagesLanguage SpanishEdition 2013C. LamoileDesnivel C. Lamoile Desnivel

For a long time there were no current topos for the Basque Country in book form. Thus, this climbing guide is a welcome guest! As the title of the book already announces, only sport climbing areas of the Basque Country are presented. The areas presented are located inland on an imaginary axis between Bilbao, Vitoria Gasteiz and Pamplona. In the front part of the book there is a map on which the areas are marked. Next to it they are listed with their geographic codes and of course with the page number for the book. It goes directly to the topo without much ado. Only the access to the area is still explained. Then come brilliant color photo topos alternating with great landscape and climbing impressions. A few pictograms indicate the difficulties, the location, the access length and the climbing length. One thing has to be said in fairness, to feel comfortable climbing there, you should definitely be able to climb in the high sixth and seventh degrees of the French scale. There are, of course, easier routes, but these are rarer to find. And for the friends of gravity climbing, it should be said, you can also find in the 8th and 9th French degrees.
