Ridge Climbing Pyrenees Lleida Huesca. The Pyrenees are a mountain range full of steep hills and rock walls. The lifting of these mountains produced dramatic and sheer cliffs and rocky ridgelines. This is clearly evident when you are here. Luckily for the outdoor adventurer, we can take advantage of these geological processes to enjoy our passion of climbing and exploring nature. Climbing ridges is an excellent way to experience these amazing features and appreciate the mountains.
Ridge climbing encompasses climbing and moving along rocky ridgelines while connected to your guide with a climbing rope. It differs to multi-pitch rock climbing because the group is normally constantly moving, instead of stopping to set up anchors. The distance between guide and participant is only a few meters instead of tens of meters. Therefore, the distance covered during the day is usually measured in kilometers instead of meters. Hence, these are normally long days and require a high level of stamina and physical conditioning. Although there are ridges of all lengths and difficulties here. In addition, there are ridges at high and low elevations in the central Spanish Pyrenees.
Many ridges contain short sections of narrow, serrated, knife-edge rock formations which require balance and a relaxed mind to navigate. Following a ridge for hundreds or even thousands of meters you will invariably encounter varied terrain. During a ridge climb, it's just not about climbing up, there are lots of ups, downs, traverses, and sometimes even rappels.
Group size is limited to 1-2 participants, depending on the ridge. Feel free to contact us for more information or to start your ridge climb today. We are happy to help you plan, design, and implement your goals and desires in the outdoors.
