“Cepeda”

 > Activities > Naranjo de Bulnes > “Cepeda”

The “Cepeda”, in the east face of Naranjo de Bulnes, was opened by M.J Aldecoa, P.Udaondo and J.Cepeda more than half a century ago, in 1955. Has become in one of the most repeated routes of the Picu Urriellu and of all the Picos de Europa. 

It is a bit equipped route but relatively easy forward rock of great quality. A route where long climbing don´t have too many problems  (high graduation V +) but in which the physical condition is becoming important because of its 350 m of lenght.

The “Cepeda” is ideal for mountaineers with some experience in multi-pitch routes who want to enjoy the ascent to the “Picu” and have a nice long day of climbing.

 Duration: 2 days

-4 hours of approach in 2 days and 3 hours of return.
