EXILIO DORADO. PEÑA OLVIDADA

Climbing routes Directory Fuente Dé area

The South East wall of Peña Olvidada does not have many open routes despite its verticality, perhaps because its rock isn't too compact or simply because the openers in the area cannot be everywhere.The "Guía de Picos" climbing guidebook unveiled Exilio Dorado. This is amountain route with typical Peña Olvidada rock and with the obvious stamp of its openers. For collectors.

  • The first and second pitches are relatively straightforward, but you have to pay attention to the rock.
  • The third pitch is a nice dihedral of generally good rock.
  • We couldn't get through the forth pitch. Some friction moves on a slab with no possibility of protection apart from the belay station bolts. The rock is good in this section. The section marked in yellow in the review is indicative as we didn't climb it.
