More of 110 years have passed since the madness of an aristocrat and a shepherd to make the first ascent to Pico Urriellu, the adventure that led them to make a daring climb of 450 meters in length and a difficulty that is currently classified as V- and it is one of the vertical routes that attracts the greatest fame and passion outside and within our borders.

ITS DIFFERENT LENGTHS

first feature: 4

The first feature begins on some easy terraces of loose rock to arrive in a diagonal crossing to the right that at the end places us under a large rock gendarme on a small but comfortable ledge, place where the first meeting is mounted.


second long: 4+

The second pitch continues to the right by an obvious lying dihedral that later becomes a vertical wall with good grips and later once overcome it, get to easier terrain and continue with a certain tendency to the right to a large balcony where the next meeting is mounted.


third long: 3+

The third pitch consists of making a marked and long right-hand crossing over terraces where loose rock abounds.. Simple climbing length, but that we must pay special attention to the hands and feet on which we lean because loose and decomposed rock abounds.


long room: 5

The fourth length continues along the marked spur that in a constant straight line will send us to the end of the route. The length consists of overcoming a system of vertical walls where grips abound but in some movement you have to step on thin feet.


fifth long: 5

The fifth length similar to the previous one consists of overcoming the marked spur and a small roof with good grip in which we will find the greatest difficulties.


sixth long: 5

The sixth length and one of the most characteristic consists of overcoming the famous donkey belly, one of the most emblematic and characteristic pitches in the entire area. It is hard to imagine how at that time with rudimentary means, some heavy iron carabiner, flimsy hemp ropes, coarse booties by Pidal and Cainejo barefoot, they ascended by said length marked a famous milestone in worldwide climbing of the time.


seventh long: 4+

The seventh pitch consists of overcoming the second donkey belly, something simpler than the previous one, although just as impressive as at the end it places us on a wide and comfortable shelf where the penultimate meeting will be mounted.


eighth long: 3+

The eighth and last pitch consists of continuing through an obvious and marked channel of simple climbing that in a long run places us on the expected and spectacular top.
Impressive views of the sea and the entire cliff system that make up the Picos de Europa, They will be the great deserved gift to one of the most emblematic and coveted ascents in all of Spain in a natural environment of unbeatable beauty.

The ninth and last pitch and the one considered the most difficult of all consists of overcoming a medium grip section on a vertical plate in the first part and later overcoming a small ceiling that later ends to become a wide dihedral fissure. A few meters from the fissure we continue to our left through an unusual hollow that leads to the southern amphitheater. And from there in an easy and long run to the expected and spectacular top.
Impressive views of the sea and the entire cliff system that make up the Picos de Europa, they will be the great gift .
