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.

(Translated by Google) A unique experience next to a great professional. The fear management course makes you spend a weekend connecting with yourself, nature, you meet new crazy companions... and always all the exercises safely next to a very close psychologist. For me, an experience of 10, where (regardless of the level you have) it is useful to stop grabbing the rock with your teeth and enjoy the fluidity and the fall, since it is part of climbing.
(Original) Una experiencia única al lado de un gran profesional. El curso de gestión del miedo te hace pasar un fin de semana de conexión contigo, la naturaleza, conoces nuevos compañeros de locuras… y siempre todos los ejercicios de forma segura al lado de una psicologa muy cercana. Para mi, una experiencia de 10, donde (tengas el nivel que tengas) es útil para dejar de cogerte a la roca con los dientes y disfrutar de la fluidez y de la caída, ya que forma parte de la escalada.

(Translated by Google) My 12 year old son and I (50) did the rock baptism. I have no climbing experience. It was great. Santi very attentive and friendly at all times. It gave us a lot of security. It adapts perfectly to the level of each one and encourages you to improve yourself. Without a doubt, totally recommended! Thank you very much for everything Santa!

Se adapta perfectamente al nivel de cada uno y anima a superarte. Sin duda alguna totalmente recomendable! Muchas gracias por todo Sant!

Best Guide Ever! Seriously- we had such a fun day with Santi in Montserrat. My 3 friends from Switzerland were visiting and we all had such blast! I can truly recommend to book a tour with South Climb. Professional, fun and tons of positive energy 🙏 Thank you for everything.

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!

(Translated by Google) We did an initiation course in mountaineering where we learned many things, from the use of the ARVA, walking with snowshoes, the use of crampons and setting up meetings. We had a great time and Santi is an excellent teacher. Completely recommended to take courses with Southclimb
