ROCK CLIMBING IN THE DOLOMITES
Route "Delenda Carthago," 180 meters, 6b. It's a modern-style route, generously bolted, and perfect for climbing on a cool autumn morning due to its south-facing orientation.

The Dolomites feature a vast number of climbing routes, including multi-pitch traditional climbs, sport climbing routes, and via ferratas. The routes vary in difficulty, length, and style, catering to climbers of different abilities and preferences.
Looking for climbing routes in the Dolomites in the middle of October, with a slightly unstable weather forecast, we came across this little gem located on the first tower of Sella.
This formation has some beautiful routes, relatively short, ranging from 150 to 200 meters, with quick approaches and descents.
We decided to climb the route "Delenda Carthago," 180 meters, 6b. It's a modern-style route, generously bolted, and perfect for climbing on a cool autumn morning due to its south-facing orientation.
The route is on excellent rock, well-equipped, and a joy to climb. With just a few quickdraws and some cams for the first pitch, you can climb this route.
Approach: 15 minutes
Difficulty: 6b
Length: 180 meters
Gear: 11 quickdraws / some cams for the first pitch
Descent: 30 minutes walking and a 20-meter rappel
It's an excellent route and a great option for a day with unstable and cold weather. Its short approach, well-equipped and rappelable anchors, and quick descent make it ideal for those days when the weather is uncertain.
Remember to always prioritize safety, respect the environment, and enjoy the stunning beauty and unique challenges that rock climbing in the Dolomites has to offer!

(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.

I had an incredible experience climbing Naranjo de Bulnes/Picu Urriellu with Santi. From the very first emails, communication was quick, clear, professional, and helpful - he gave us detailed advice on routes, logistics, and even transport and accommodation options.
On the mountain, Santi was outstanding you could see his love for the mountains and watched him come alive! He explained everything very clearly. His knowledge of the area and his patience with us made the whole day very enjoyable.
We can't recommend him enough - if you're thinking of climbing in Picos de Europa or anywhere else, book with Santi. Thank you for helping us make this such a memorable trip!

Messaged Santi to teach us lead climbing outside as it was our first time. He was very responsive with his communication and we sorted out a day to climb. We climbed at a really scenic location. Santi tought us most of the aspects required to perform lead climbing and was very patient, effective and an all round down to earth person. By the end of the day we were almost competent lead climbers. I would definitely recommend him if you want it learn how to climb or need a challenging route to climb with assistance.
