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!

(Translated by Google) Santi is one of the best guides I've met, I did the sport climbing course with him, the long route course and I also went for a couple of days to do sport climbing. He has always been very kind and friendly, the explanations he gives are clear and very useful. He knows the areas he goes to perfectly and gives very good recommendations to return there on your own.
(Original) Santi és un dels millors guies que he conegut, he fet amb ell el curs d'escalada esportiva, el de via llarga i també he anat un parell de dies a fer esportiva. Sempre ha segut molt amable i amistós, les explicacions que dona son clares i molt útils. Coneix perfectament les zones on va i dona molt bones recomanacions per tornar-hi pel teu compte.
