How fit do I need to be?

La Pedriza has plenty of options for beginner climbers. Whether you’ve never climbed before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill level and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun! For intermediate to advanced climbers, La Pedriza has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives and customize the day to your goals. Let your guide plan the day so you can focus on developing your skills while climbing the classic routes or best hidden gems the area has to offer.

What about required equipment?

All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need: Helmet Harness with a locking carabiner, belay device, and chalk bag Ropes Rock shoes Climbing hardware (quickdraws, cam devices, stoppers, etc.) Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring: Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 40L bag) Mountain/hiking boots or trail shoes, sports shoes Waterproof jacket Water bottle with 1,5L of water Food you can eat on-the-go Toiletries (sunscreen, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.) Lip balm Sun hat Sport sunglasses Mobile phone Passport/identification documents Camera — optional Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in.

Rock Climbing at La Pedriza National Park

We were in Madrid for only a week and wanted to go climbing. Our trip far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for better weather (in February!!) or a better guide. Edu was very knowledgeable of the place and took us to a wall that was perfect for all four of us (two adults, two kids ages 8 & 9), not far from El Yelmo. All we brought were our shoes; Dreampeaks provided all the gear. The granite was beautiful to touch, and the views were fabulous. Deampeaks also arranged our ride to the park, which was awesome. Thanks, Gabriel, for making this possible!

La Pedriza and Patones

Thank you to Gabriel’s expertise in organizing our first climbing weekend in Madrid to be spectacular. Luis was our guide in the multi-pitch route at La Pedriza. Edu was our guide to the sport climbing spot in Patones. Luis and Edu were excellent guides with incredible knowledge in climbing and a love for nature. I highly recommend Dreampeaks.

Awesome day of climbing with 3 kids!

We were looking for a little outdoor adventure for our kids near Madrid. We are a family who just moved here from Colorado. Gabriel was great to communicate with and the booking process was very easy and fast. We were picked up at our apartment on time and had a short drive to the climbing area where we met up with another family and 2 guides. The guides were great and set up 4 different top rope climbs of varying levels, so there was something for everyone! We will definitely be booking another adventure with Dreampeaks and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun outdoor experience!
