Set in the limestone amphitheatre around Ramales de la Victoria, the Vía Ferrata Callejomadero is built for experienced climbers who want sustained exposure and technical moves: an initial 30‑metre descent that leads to a fully aerial 40‑metre rappel, long vertical and lateral sections, a 30‑metre Tibetan bridge spanning a dramatic torca, and an athletic, overhanging final wall.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BIG DROP

30 m descent into a 40 m aerial rappel

The route opens with a committed 30‑metre descent that gives way to a fully exposed 40‑metre rappel — a central feature that defines the ferrata’s sustained verticality and sensation of height.

THE TRANSIT

A 30‑metre Tibetan bridge over a torca

A long Tibetan bridge crosses an impressive torca, creating a technical, wind‑swaying mid‑route element that links the climb’s major sections.

THE FINISH

Athletic, overhanging final wall

The route closes with demanding, athletic moves on an overhanging wall — a concluding test of strength and technique before the exit.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The hourglass of the route compresses technical roped work, exposed traverses and steep climbing into a compact, intense outing: approach from the parking, descend into the rappel anchor, move through sustained vertical and lateral sections, cross the long bridge, finish on an athletic wall, then return to the parking area.

Suitability
