The Councilor for the Environment, Noelia Grao, along with Gildo Conejero, David Mora, and Luis Abad from the Orihuela Mountaineering Group (GOM), have presented the new guide “Climbing in Orihuela”.
The guide, created in collaboration with GOM, aims to highlight key routes and essential locations for climbing in the region’s mountain range. “This initiative helps promote our natural spaces and provides climbers with valuable information,” stated Grao.
The guide focuses on four main climbing spots: Pared Negra, Triángulo Rojo, Momioit Llevantí, and Rincón de Bonanza.
It includes details on access points, signage, climbing sectors, and descent routes. “This is the most comprehensive climbing guide ever created for Orihuela. It reflects not just a passion for climbing but also a deep respect for the environment,” added Grao.
“This guide serves as a practical resource for anyone interested in climbing, offering useful and safety-related information,” said Grao. She emphasized that Orihuela’s mountain range provides opportunities for various outdoor activities, including hiking and climbing, and highlighted the City Council’s responsibility to support and collaborate with organizations like GOM, which actively promote the sport.
Grao also praised GOM’s dedication to preserving the natural environment, stating, “They are deeply committed to the mountains, and I sincerely appreciate their ongoing efforts to protect and maintain our surroundings.”
Luis Elías Abad explained that work on the guide began in 2011, involving extensive research and route mapping. “We have only covered about 50% of Orihuela’s climbing routes so far. As climbing grows in popularity, we have published a print edition, as well as a digital version, which is available for download on the GOM website.”
David Mora said that the project documents over 200 climbing routes, helping preserve Orihuela’s historical and sporting heritage. “In just one week, the digital guide has been downloaded more than 1,000 times. Orihuela is becoming a top climbing destination, especially in winter, which helps expand the sport beyond its traditional seasons. This guide is an essential tool for visiting climbers.”
Gildo Conejero expressed his gratitude to the Department of Environment for their support in making the guide a reality. “This resource will be incredibly valuable to the entire climbing community,” he said.
The guide is available for free at the Department of Environment for those interested.
