Description

Update information

Characteristics

The longest of the ferratas in that area. Different climbing parts and some bridges. The hardest part is a short K3 overhang in the middle. At the end, you can decide to do the K5 variant or follow the easier route.

Arrival

Follow google maps to the Mirador de la Garganta, you will pass the Village of La Garganta. Attencion, there are two places called Mirador de la Garganta. Don't park down close to the lake, you can drive much higher and closer to the ferrata through a good prepared street which goes up the mountain through a forest. There you will find the second Mirador de la Garganta with the plate and description of the ferrata.

Approach

From the middle between the two mountains: Go direction west, down the area and turn right. Don't turn too early to the right, the ferrata starts more down.

From the parking: you go some meters down to the description plate of the ferrata and behind you will find a hiking path up the mountain. You follow that path till you reach the top with a fence. Then turn left and you will see the first beautiful rock formations of Cancho de la Muela. Follow the path and soon you will find the beginning of the ferrata area with the first ferrata de iniciación K1 (A/B).

Descent

To ferrata area:

- climb another route down

- at the top, there is the option to rappel down. Not so easy rappel as the first part is between two rocks so you have to spread your legs a lot. You need rope of 2 x 30m

To parking: Wherever you are around Cancho de la Garganta you can walk around the rocks and take the same path as the approach the way back.

Points of interest

The time of exit to the parking again would be around 45 min. The described time of exit means just the time to go down to the area again to start the next route.

Time of approach starts from the middle between the two mountains.

The Tiroline is not there anymore (Update 1.5.2025)

As typical for the style in Spain/France the cable is only for security and should NOT be used for climbing, so of course also the difficulty level is based on that (different style like in the alps etc. where the cable has much more tension and counts as part of the ferrata)
