The Croqueta de Obarra ferrata is located in Huesca, in the town of Beranuy and apart from its fun, in the process you take in the memories some dreamlike panoramic views of the Isabena Valley . To prove it, coming with sports clothing, mountain shoes and water will be more than enough, we will take care of the necessary materials, safety equipment and the prior briefing, so you can ignore it.

We will enjoy a very high and very long ferrata , which runs through 3 needles, with 4 sections in total and whose difficulty increases progressively. The Croqueta de Obarra Ferrata welcomes us in its first section with a 100-meter drop that we will have to overcome by climbing not so vertical walls. As we pass we will also come across exits that we can take to overcome this first section through ascents and rappelling progressions.

Once this part is ready, we enter the second section, which runs through a very rocky area that runs diagonally along the side of the mountain. To do this, we will use a lifeline and walk parallel to the mountain with our feet on its side. skirt and head looking towards the valley. We continue helped by the lifeline cable and reach a small hallway after having climbed a little until we reach the third sector.

Almost finished, we are faced with a wall that is as colossal as it is vertical and that has several areas marked by its collapses. We will approach a small needle climbing with bare hands and helping ourselves with whatever we can until we reach an exciting Tibetan bridge. Once we overcome it, we continue on our way, we climb a couple of walls and without realizing it we will see ourselves on the top of a needle at 1313 meters high.

We will leave this point behind and then enter the final section and once we have lowered the spire on which we were, we will be swallowed up by a chimney through which we will have to descend about ten meters along some widely spaced staples. Once ready, we skirt the mountain to find the second Tibetan bridge, which we will have reached after having crossed a log.that acts as a natural bridge and bridges an abyss.

Once we have crossed the two bridges we will see how an abrupt projection casts a shadow over us and without hesitation we will climb it, since we will be facing the first challenge to summit the Aguja de la Croqueta. After that we arrive at the third Tibetan bridge, the most spectacular of all because it only has one cable for the feet and to overcome it we will have to make a change of wall halfway in order to finally reach the Aguja de la Croqueta, at nothing more and nothing less than 1,396 meters high.

Once here, the only thing we have left is to enjoy the views and the overwhelming sensations that will invade us and begin the return journey to complete the Croqueta de Obarra Ferrata, an imperative route for all lovers of this sport whoprice.
