The Naranjo de Bulnes, also known as Picu Urriellu, is a limestone peak located in the Picos de Europa in Asturias. It has an altitude of 2,519 meters and, although not the highest peak in the Cantabrian Mountains, it is one of its most well-known mountains, as well as one of Spain's iconic summits.

The summit of Urriellu can only be accessed by climbing, which makes this mountain a true vertical challenge. The four faces of the mountain have climbing routes, and the impressive west face stands out: a vertical abyss of 550 meters that presents some of the most demanding routes in Spain's big wall climbing.

At the base of the Naranjo de Bulnes is the Vega de Urriellu, a glacial valley at an altitude of 1,950 meters. In this valley, you can find the refuge with the same name, the base camp for all climbers and hikers who visit the area.

Do you want to climb the Naranjo de Bulnes?

We propose an ascent via the 'Cepeda' route (300m V+). This line was opened in 1955 and was the first climbing route on the east face of the Naranjo de Bulnes. It is an emblematic route that is divided into nine pitches, with maximum difficulties of up to V+ and obligatory IV+. The climb includes passages of dihedrals, fissures, traverses, and chimneys.

The entire route is on excellent limestone rock, and after climbing its 300 meters, an additional 150 meters of easy scrambling are done in the south amphitheater to access the summit of the Naranjo.

Excellent!

The most beautiful setting with endless awe inspiring walls and valleys. We’re new to outdoor climbing and our instructor couldn’t have been better. Interesting, enthusiastic, patient and inspiring we felt like we were climbing with a friend who taught us so much and tailored our weekend amazingly to our ability. We felt challenged without feeling completely out of our comfort zone. So fun!

(Translated by Google) I have done the initiation course and I liked it a lot, because of the content, relaxed atmosphere and at the same time serious in relation to safety. I will surely sign up for more activities!

(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!!

I had a great experience today climbing with Giordano in Garraf! Just driving to the location was beautiful and the views once you reached the top were spectacular! I felt very safe with my instructor and he balanced making sure I had fun with safety, which you could tell was his priority. He was so encouraging throughout my climbs and made me feel good about what capabilities I had. I will be looking into taking a course with southclimb now and would recommend them to others. Santi was exceptional with communication on WhatsApp and made the entire process very smooth and simple. Thank you!

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) Take the long route course: two days, the first one took us to combat Montserrat, where we went from a theoretical explanation with exercises in the place to climbing and practicing what we saw. At all times checking and explaining why we do what we do at each stage. Day two: straight to one of the caps, where we immediately began to climb applying what we had learned with a long route of multiple meetings. You finish the course with not only tools to be able to do it alone, but with a way of thinking when it comes to Set up your rappelling or your meetings to be able to adapt to any situation! Super recommended and the best predisposition of Santi!! Super serious, and always very clear with each step we took.
(Original) Tome el curso de vía larga: dos dias, el primero nos llevó a combato Montserrat, donde pasamos de un explicación teórica con ejercicios en el lugar a escalar y practicar lo visto. En todo momento chequeando y explicando el porqué hacemos lo que hacemos en cada etapa. Día dos: directo a uno de los gorros, donde inmediatamente empezamos a subir aplicando lo aprendido con una vía larga de múltiples reuniones. Terminas el curso con no solo herramientas para poder hacerlo solo, sino con una forma de pensar a la hora de Montar tu rapel o tus reuniones para poder adaptarte a cualquier situacion! Súper recomendable y la mejor predisposición de Santi!! Súper serio, y siempre muy claro con cada paso que dimos.
