Tips if you are going to do Climbing in Madrid

Are you up for a challenge and eager to put yourself to the test? Although it is a slightly risky activity, you can learn about your limitations and improve yourself to an extraordinary degree is climbing. Although it may seem straightforward, climbing requires a high degree of concentration and endurance that involves both the body and the mind. We are not exaggerating. Are you prepared to experience this?

The Region of Madrid has the ideal locations to begin a new adventure, regardless of your level of expertise in this sport.

There are numerous ways to some of the highest peaks in the Madrid highlands that you might go on if you wish to have a truly unique vacation there! But don't worry, we'll share a list of some of the mountains you must climb and won't want to miss, so you'll know where to go.

Which locations are ideal for rock climbing in Madrid?


- Sierra de Guadarrama: You've probably heard of the Maliciosa, La Pedriza, Pealara, or Siete Picos in relation to the Sierra de Guadarrama. These are some of the highest peaks in this natural area and known throughout the country. The Sierra de Guadarrama consists of more than 50 peaks that reach an altitude of 2,000 metres. The view when you climb up the rock, the views will leave you awestruck. Thanks to the incredible routes and climbing schools on offer, your adventure will be unforgettable.

The Maliciosa, often known as 'the cursed mountain' by those who have had more than their fair share of difficulty climbing to its summit, may be reached from the village of Cercedilla. You can choose from up to 60 traditional climbing routes and scale its distinctive alpine granite slopes and high gradients.

You must have a strong sense of adventure to climb one of the hills that will lead you to La Pedriza. As it requires knowledge of climbing techniques to reach the summit, this peak is a favourite among mountaineers and climbing professionals. Additionally, you must remember the sporting gear that is required to participate in this sport; otherwise, it will be impossible to reach the end of your route.

The Siete Picos is popularly known as 'Sierra del Dragón' due to the profile of its peaks. This gives the feeling of being in front of the scales of one of them and is one of the itineraries you should not miss on your itinerary. The route that departs from Puerto de Navacerrada may appear straightforward at first because it is essentially a hike, but if you want to go to the highest point, you will have to negotiate a short, treacherous length of rock.

- The Sierra de Gredos: is another favourite for climbers who want to hone their skills and get a little better each day. Its mountains not only form part of a route through the Madrid Sierra but are also distributed throughout Ávila, Salamanca, Cáceres and Toledo. If you have advanced climbing skills, you will need to take a quick detour to the region of this mountain range shared with Ávila to get to Almanzor's base. Although this mountain is outside the Community of Madrid, we strongly advise you to climb it because it is almost a must-stop for fans of this sport. It will be a brutal experience that will be hard to forget. Furthermore, if you can ascend its 2591 metres, you will already be equipped to climb whatever mountain you set your mind to.

This reminds us that altitude is a very important factor to consider when climbing because, at the top of the mountains, the temperature fluctuates at breakneck speed. Therefore, you will need to be clear about when you want to make your excursion.

What time of year is ideal for climbing in Madrid?


If you don't want your trip to become a cold nightmare, we advise that you go during the spring or summer months. Even if the temperature drops as you ascend, it will always be much more comfortable than when it is winter. But some people are eager to try anything, go ice climbing, and take in the breathtaking vistas of the snow-covered mountain.

Is climbing a safe sport for children?


We all agree that any activity with friends, family and even the kids is always guaranteed to be fun. It goes without saying that not everyone is equipped to climb to the top of Madrid's mountains because they are quite challenging. Children can, however, embark on this difficult journey from different locations, such as Peñalara. Despite being the highest peak in the Sierra de Guadarrama, they will be able to take advantage of various routes open to all climbers, no matter their skill level. In addition, if you travel in the summer, you may head to the village of Rascafría once the tour is over to have another enjoyable time while you take a refreshing dip in the Presillas.

What gear do you need to climb mountains?


If this is your first time climbing and unsure of what equipment and clothing are required, read on to know. You must, of course, dress comfortably for exercise and wear sturdy, non-slip climbing footwear, but that isn't all. Your safety is the most crucial factor, thus you should take every precaution throughout your vacation to avoid any mishap. Your best ally is a helmet, which you must wear at all times because it's highly probable that sand or small rocks will fall if you have someone climbing above you. The harness and grigri, which keep you connected to one of your fellow adventurers by ropes to prevent you from falling, are another important component of safety.
