Pico Abadías (3,279 m) is one of the three-thousanders located within the boundaries of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park in the Aragonese Pyrenees. To reach the summit, the normal route is usually taken, starting from Besurta or Renclusa and passing through the Portillón Superior. It is a relatively easy peak to conquer, always considering that we are in high mountain terrain, and the views of the South Ridge of Maladetas from its summit are spectacular. Climbing a three-thousand-meter peak in the Pyrenees is always a great activity, but... what if we climb it?

Do you want to climb a 3,000-meter peak?

Climbing a three-thousand-meter peak is the most elegant way to reach the summit of one of these massive granite formations in the Pyrenees. The "South Direct" (330m 6a) is one of the classic climbing routes par excellence in the entire Pyrenean range. Eight rope lengths over more than 300 meters will take us to the top of Pico Abadías.

The ascent is usually divided into two days. On the first day, we make the approach, setting up a bivouac at the foot of the south face of Abadías. This bivouac is already an experience in itself. We will enjoy the purest surroundings and rest to gather strength for the climb the next day.

The "South Direct" follows the south face of Pico Abadías on extraordinary quality reddish granite, with sustained difficulties ranging from Vº grade to 6a. One of the most spectacular moments of the ascent is reaching the "Gárgola", a natural balcony accessed once the 40 meters of the seventh pitch are climbed.

Excellent!

Santi hosted 5 of us amateur climbers in Siurana for 5 days, most of whom had never climbed outdoors before. We felt so safe with Santi as a guide, and he was able to provide climbing support as well as local recommendations (and jokes) at the same time! We all definitely leant a lot from him.

(Translated by Google) Santi and the entire team of professionals who work with him are incredible... if I had to choose one word it would be EXCELLENCE. transmits so much security, that you only receive fun and learning. He is warm, human, ready to solve any unforeseen event. Start the day with a guide and end with a friend. He also advises you before the activity, and also after... You can write to him a month later and he will help you buy a harness, or he will give you a discount on climbing shoes. Is incredible. He is very passionate, you can see that despite the 25 years he has been dedicating himself to this, he still has that spark, that enthusiasm, and he transmits it. I honestly recommend it.
(Original) Santi y todo el equipo de profesionales que trabajan con él son increíbles... si tuviera que elegir una palabra sería EXCELENCIA. transmite tanta seguridad, que tu solo recibes diversión y aprendizaje. Es cálido, humano, listo para solucionar cualquier imprevisto. Empieza el día teniendo un guía y terminas teniendo un amigo. Además te asesora antes de la actividad, y también después... Puedes escribirle un mes mas tarde y te ayudará a comprar un arnés, o te dará un descuento en pies de gatos. Es increíble. Es muy apasionado, se ve que a pesar de los 25 años que lleva dedicándose a esto, sigue teniendo esa chispa, ese entusiasmo, y lo transmite. Sinceramente, lo recomiendo.

First of all, I want to thank Santi - our rock climbing guide - for an excellent teaching!!⚡️
He was consistent, attentive to our strengths and weaknesses, inspiring confidence and really professional (technically and psychologically)!
I finally overcome my fear of lead rope climbing which followed me for a long long time… A friend of mine had his first time real rock climbing and now he already knows both types (lead and top) of climbing and belaying!🤯
And it hasn't felt like a boring studying with a tired of all this annoying tourists instructor. Santi was behaving not just as a mentor, but also as a friend of us🤝🏻
Hope to climb together one day again✨🏔️
