What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Madrid and travel by car into the Sierra de Guadarrama to reach La Pedriza's climbing areas. Upon arrival, your instructor runs through safety protocols and fits you with harness, rope and protection. The actual climbing time spans several hours across the day, with routes selected to match your experience level. Expect to move between different sections of the crag, trying multiple pitches. Your guide manages all technical decisions and anchors whilst teaching technique. The park terrain is rugged but not remote—facilities exist at the base.
