Pico Abadías (3,279 m) is one of the three-thousanders located within the boundaries of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park in the Aragonese Pyrenees. To reach the summit, the normal route is usually taken, starting from Besurta or Renclusa and passing through the Portillón Superior. It is a relatively easy peak to conquer, always considering that we are in high mountain terrain, and the views of the South Ridge of Maladetas from its summit are spectacular. Climbing a three-thousand-meter peak in the Pyrenees is always a great activity, but... what if we climb it?

Do you want to climb a 3,000-meter peak?

Climbing a three-thousand-meter peak is the most elegant way to reach the summit of one of these massive granite formations in the Pyrenees. The "South Direct" (330m 6a) is one of the classic climbing routes par excellence in the entire Pyrenean range. Eight rope lengths over more than 300 meters will take us to the top of Pico Abadías.

The ascent is usually divided into two days. On the first day, we make the approach, setting up a bivouac at the foot of the south face of Abadías. This bivouac is already an experience in itself. We will enjoy the purest surroundings and rest to gather strength for the climb the next day.

The "South Direct" follows the south face of Pico Abadías on extraordinary quality reddish granite, with sustained difficulties ranging from Vº grade to 6a. One of the most spectacular moments of the ascent is reaching the "Gárgola", a natural balcony accessed once the 40 meters of the seventh pitch are climbed.

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) We have been with Santi for two days in Siurana and Vallirana and he has been an incredible teacher. Knowing very little, we have had an incredible experience. Santi is super attentive, patient and knows perfectly how to transfer his knowledge to people of any level. We would repeat for sure!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent course with Santi. I have done the rock climbing initiation course, a very complete course and ideal for those people who have never rock climbed or who already climb but want to improve. Apart from the great professionalism and confidence that he transmits at all times, I want to highlight the detail of being very aware of each one of us (group of 6 people). It has also taken into account the weather and the sectors where to climb without wind or cold. Very highly recommended!
(Original) Excelente curso con Santi. He hecho el curso de iniciación a escalada en Roca, curso muy completo y ideal para esas personas que no han escalado en roca nunca o que ya escalan pero quieren perfeccionar. A parte de la gran profesionalidad y confianza que transmite en todo momento, quiero destacar el detalle de estar muy pendiente de cada uno de nosotros (grupo de 6 personas). También ha tenido en cuenta la meteo y los sectores dónde escalar sin viento ni frío. Muy muy recomendable!

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) I did a ladder course to learn to go first and secure a first. Essential, super useful and practical. I have learned a lot about safety. It has helped me correct "bad vices" that I had and that can put my safety or that of my climbing partner at risk. And Santi, the instructor, a crack! He explains clearly, is patient, and is in everything. I have gained autonomy in climbing. Thank you for your dedication Santi! Recommended course 200%!

Excellent!

We did a two-day climbing course in Siurana and Arboli and couldn't be happier. Giordano is one of the best guides I have gone out climbing with, he explains things super well and has something to offer no matter your level. The communication with SouthClimb before the course was smooth - they gave us good recommendations about the best ways to get to the area, places to stay, and what to expect.

I had an amazing time here. It was only my second time climbing outdoors and I didn’t really know what to expect. Santi, the guide, paced the difficulty of the routes really well so I was able to progress each day. This trip exceeded all my expectations.
