Nani al Urriellu

Nani route was firstly climbed by Hernán Llanos Balsas and Alfredo Diaz in 1974. This is one of the easiest ways to reach Urriellu´s summit, as well as a commonly frequented one. Recommendable route for a first ascent to urriellu if you have experience in classic climbing, or for a second ascent if not. Superb rock quality.

Finishing the third pitch

Reaching the next belay station

This part has a tendency to go rightwards

eight pitch

The next and final pitch has a tendency to the left. It reaches a ridge on which you have to find the belay station. To get to the amphitheatre, make a traverse or climb another 8 meters to reach a tied block from which you can abseil. There is no need to stop in all the belay stations because there are some pitches that can be unified, but that´s upon the intuition of the climber.
