Winter ascents

In the Picos de Europa and the Cordillera Cantábrica are lots of ice passes where we can experience new sensations. Balance and verticality define a unique experience in which we will enjoy the winter landscape from its best representantive: ice and snow.
Equipment that we will use:
- Hard boots and gloves
- Safety harness
- Crampons and ice axe
- Rope
- Helmet
- Outerwear
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Food and water
