climbing guidebook Escalada Deportiva Gredos
The Sierra de Gredos is better known for its classic climbing and mountaineering than for its sport climbing areas. However, across the length and breadth of all the valleys that surround these mountains, there are a large number of sectors with a total of around 1,000 equipped sport climbing routes. Many of the routes are of very good quality and are undoubtedly worth discovering.
Sectors such as La Casquera de Navatalgordo, La Corbera de Navalmoral or Santibáñez de Béjar have a handful of recommended routes, but others, such as the Duque Lagoon in Solana de Ávila, should be on the list of the best climbing areas. There you will find endless and vertical walls, perfect cracks where you can practice all techniques. Challenging climbing surrounded by a sober and intoxicating landscape, full of lagoons, ravines, oaks and holm oaks.
