The Call of the Mountains

As a seasoned adventurer, I’ve scaled peaks and leaped from planes, but the call of the mountains in Gran Canaria was something I couldn’t resist. The Via Ferrata - Klettersteig promised an experience that was both challenging and rewarding, and I was eager to test my mettle against the rocky giants of Bahia Feliz. My fiancée and I, both adrenaline junkies at heart, packed our gear and set off for what we hoped would be an unforgettable climb.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by our guide, Pablo, whose calm demeanor and expert knowledge immediately put us at ease. Despite our extensive experience in extreme sports, we were new to this particular style of climbing, and Pablo’s thorough explanation of the techniques, knots, and equipment was invaluable. His passion for the sport was infectious, and we couldn’t wait to get started.

Conquering the Climb

The climb itself was nothing short of exhilarating. The Via Ferrata route took us through a series of vertical walls, suspension ladders, and hidden caves, each presenting its own unique challenge. The landscape was breathtaking, with the rugged beauty of the mountains stretching out before us and the distant silhouette of Roque Nublo serving as a constant reminder of the island’s natural splendor.

As we ascended, the physical demands of the climb became apparent. Our arms ached and our muscles burned, but the sense of accomplishment with each step was unparalleled. The small group size allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience, savoring the tranquility of the secluded area and the camaraderie of our fellow climbers.

At one point, we paused to rest in a cave, enjoying a picnic at 100 meters high. The simple pleasure of a snack and a hammock break amidst the towering cliffs was a moment of pure bliss, a chance to reflect on the journey and the beauty of our surroundings.

A Day to Remember

As we reached the summit, the view was nothing short of spectacular. The sense of achievement was overwhelming, and the memory of that day will forever be etched in my mind. The Via Ferrata - Klettersteig in Gran Canaria was more than just a climb; it was an adventure that tested our limits and rewarded us with unforgettable experiences.

Pablo’s guidance and the serene beauty of the location made this one of the most memorable climbs of my life. For anyone seeking a thrill and a connection with nature, this is an adventure not to be missed. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or a first-timer, the Via Ferrata offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself and discover the hidden wonders of Gran Canaria.

As we descended, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with my fiancée and our fellow adventurers. The mountains had called, and we had answered, leaving with memories that would last a lifetime. Until the next adventure, Gran Canaria, you’ve been a worthy opponent.
