Welcome
An online winter climbing guide for climbers, ski tourers and mountaineers in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Spain. (Please note: this is an ongoing project that we intend to complete next winter 2009)
This great mountaineering venue is still relatively unknown outside Spain. The area provides a fantastic alternative with guaranteed snow and ice, together with a greater chance of that magical combination of snow and sun. Plus, you need never queue for routes anymore!
This guide is ongoing work. We would welcome any feed back from climbers who have visited the area and have tried out any of the climbs. The guide gives mountaineers a flavour of what is on offer (at times only rough approach routes are suggested). Photos illustrate the approach and climb, rather than text. Interesting videos of the climbs are included when available.
The climbing feels and at times is, of an exploratory nature. The categories on the right have the climbs by grade or area. There are also posts on access and maps to use.
We have gathered the information from local sources and our own experience as mountain guides living and working permanently out here. We welcome the chance to share this information with interested parties. Use it as inspiration!
For groups, clubs and adventurers we offer a self guided support service including airport transfers, gear hire, dehydrated mountain food, gas, laminated maps, transport to and from the trailheads and cheap accommodation. We give free help and advice regarding route choice, access, weather and snow conditions to allcomers!
