Vertical path of the rock of Narieda
The vertical path is articulated in two sections:
The first section, of lesser difficulty (K3), has some aerial sections, slightly dropped, equipped with chains and steps, and with two bridges. This first section reaches a natural platform where the return path is found. To get out, take this path to the left facing the wall, in the direction of Fígols, which ends up going down a quarry to the start of the vertical path in about 15 minutes. This section can be covered in approximately 1 hour. It has a length of 278 meters and a height difference of 80 meters.
The second section is accessed by taking the path we find at the end of the previous section, towards the right. This section, more difficult than the previous one (K4), alternates vertical sections, side traverses and steps through bundles with vegetation, all perfectly equipped with steps, ladders and a Tibetan bridge that take us to the top of the rock of Narieda , from where we will enjoy a splendid view of the entire valley. The route of this second section from the previous section is 841 meters, with a difference in level of 375 meters. The return is made by taking a marked trail that, after a descent of more than 500 meters, leaves us at the car park. The approximate return time to the car park is 1 hour. The approximate time to complete the entire activity, including the access, the vertical path, and the return to the parking lot, is at least 5 hours.
With its 455 meters of difference in level, the two consecutive sections of vertical path make the rock of Narieda the steepest vertical path in Spain and the third longest, with 1,119 meters.
Narieda rock climbing area
- In Fígols the type of climbing is sports (routes up to approximately 40m where there is a predominance of slabs and falls). In addition there are also classic adventure and equipped climbing routes of 500m that run along the entire north wall. The rock type is very compact limestone built of plates and two caves with a lot of collapse.
