About this tour
Climb a fixed iron-rung route on Gran Canaria's dramatic volcanic peaks in either daylight or sunset conditions. This four-hour adventure suits first-timers through experienced climbers, with a local guide teaching rope work and safety so you can tackle future routes independently. You'll traverse dramatic sandstone walls reminiscent of Arizona's deserts, then cool off at a secluded beach afterwards.

- Learn rope techniques you'll use on future climbs
- Volcanic terrain with Arizona-like desert aesthetics
- Professional guide provides continuous belay support
- Secluded beach recovery session included
- Harness, helmet, snacks, and photographs provided

What to expect
You'll be fitted with harness and helmet, then your guide will walk you through basic movements on the iron rungs bolted into the rock face. The climbing is sustained but manageable; expect scrambling sections and vertical stretches where the fixed ladder system keeps you secure. Your guide stays close throughout, managing the rope and coaching you through trickier passages. The route winds through impressive rock formations with expanding views across the island. After reaching the summit, you'll descend the same way, then head to Bahia Feliz beach to swim and recover.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential; not suitable if pregnant or with spinal/heart conditions. Wear sturdy shoes and sun protection. The guide teaches techniques so you gain genuine climbing skills, not just a guided walk. Photographs are taken throughout.
