Climbing in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria offers a diverse range of climbing opportunities on volcanic rock, primarily basalt and phonolite. The central highlands feature iconic monoliths like Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, providing technical trad and sport routes at high altitudes. In contrast, deep ravines such as Barranco de Fataga and Barranco de la Data house sheltered sport climbing crags. Key sectors include La Sorrueda, known for its high concentration of well-bolted routes, and the vertical walls of Ayacata, which serve as the island's hub for multi-pitch climbing.
