The line mixes equipped sections with a bit of trad protection, and we take two climbers with a guide who knows the approach, the belays and the way down. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 5 hours Group size: Up to 2 participants per guide Minimum age: 18 years Level: Experienced outdoor climbers Area: Los Cahorros 🧗 What to Expect We meet at Era de los Portachuelos, walk about fifteen minutes along the river path to the hanging bridge, and start just to the right on the main wall. The first two pitches are equipped slabs of about twenty metres at V, then a short II+ step, a IV+ dihedral and crack that needs friends, a V athletic pitch of about thirty metres, and a V+ finish of about thirty metres with older pegs and medium friends. On the summit we pause for photos looking into the gorge and towards the Sierra Nevada, then make a sixty-metre abseil, a short down-climb and another sixty-metre abseil to the dam by the big Cahorros bridge. The walk back to the cars is about fifteen minutes. The day is about five hours, and in summer we often start at nine so you are not in the hottest part of the gorge at midday. 📍 Location Los Cahorros sits just above Monachil, a deep limestone gorge with hanging bridges and long walls. The route uses that rock for a full guided day only a short drive from Granada, and weekend walkers share some of the approach path. We send the parking pin and a suggested arrival time in the days before, so we can use the conditions that week. An early start keeps the day calmer when the gorge is busy. Bring at least a litre of water, a snack and shoes that grip on the river path. ✅ Prerequisites You should already lead or second confidently on outdoor rock, manage your own belay and talk clearly at stances. This is an intermediate day, not a first outdoor session, and you need the fitness to keep moving on ground around V and V+ for several hours. You need to be 18 or over. Two climbers per guide keeps the ropework simple on a committing gorge line. We issue harness, helmet and shoes, look after the rack, and take digital photos when there is a safe stance for it. ⭐ Why Choose Us On a long route the useful thing we bring is local knowledge: where to park, how the face feels in the sun, and a descent we have done many times. You climb.

This is for climbers aged 18 and over who already know their way around outdoor belays and want a local guide on a classic line near Los Cahorros. You should be used to walking in with a pack and spending several hours on the rock. It is not a teaching day for first-timers. You will get a lot more from it if you already climb outside and just want someone who knows the approach, the pitches and the way down. ### How do scheduled dates and private groups work? Most of our open dates are Saturdays and Sundays, which is how we usually run these days through the year. If one of those works, just request a place on that day and we will confirm the meet once it is accepted. If you would rather go midweek, or only with your own friends, send us a date and how many of you there are. We will check a guide is free and get back to you by chat or email with the plan. ### How long is the guided route? The activity itself is about 5 hours, plus a bit of time at the start for kit and the walk in to the sector. Lunch is a short stop with food you bring, except on indoor course days where we use the gym break. Start times change with the season and the venue, because we chase shade in summer and sun in winter. Once your date is confirmed we will send the meet time, parking notes and what to bring. ### What is included? You get a qualified mountain guide who specialises in rock climbing, plus harness, helmet and shoes where we issue them, and the ropes and hardware. Digital photos and videos of the day are included, and we are happy to advise on kit before you travel. Meals, drinks, accommodation and getting yourself to the meeting point are down to you. Transport can sometimes be arranged separately if you ask ahead. Bring water and a snack that will last the session. ### What should I wear and bring? Wear clothes you can move in, with a layer for wind and a bit of sun cream. Trainers or approach shoes with grip are better than smooth soles, and we ask you not to come in flip-flops, sandals or clogs. Pack at least a litre of water, a snack and a light waterproof. A 40 to 45 litre pack is useful on longer days. If you wear glasses, a strap stops them sliding when you look down, and a cap or sun hat helps on open limestone. ### Where do we meet? It depends on the exact sector near Los Cahorros and the weather that week. We decide the pin and the arrival time in the days before, so we can use the rock that is in the best condition. Granada days often start from Plaza Alta in Monachil or a crag car park a few minutes away. Coastal and Alicante routes use a meet point closer to that cliff, and we send clear directions once the date is accepted. ### What if the weather is unsuitable? We need dry rock and sensible wind. If it looks poor, we will message you as early as we can and either move venue or look at another day, because forcing a session on wet limestone is not useful for anyone. High Sierra Nevada faces are the fussiest, and leftover snow or strong wind can close them even in summer. We would rather shift the date than stand around in poor conditions at that height. ### How fit do I need to be? You should already be happy leading or seconding outdoors, and fit enough for a full day on your feet with a walk in at either end. If a long approach and several pitches sounds like a stretch, tell us and we can point you to an easier day on local rock. We take a maximum of two climbers with one guide on this route, so belays stay simple and we can talk properly at each stance. That is how we keep a long day moving without anyone waiting in the sun. ### Is equipment provided? Yes. We issue a harness and helmet at the meet, plus climbing shoes or a ferrata lanyard if that is what the day needs. Tell us your shoe size if we ask for it. You are welcome to use your own harness or helmet if it is CE marked. We will give it a quick check before we start. ### How do I prepare before the day? Read the meet-time message and give yourself a few extra minutes for parking. A charged phone with the pin saved is enough. When you book, tell us what you have climbed before. That helps us pick the right ropes and keep the day at a pace you will enjoy. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_7569-11-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
