Via Ferrata: Camino Del Rey |
Description
El Caminito Del Rey (The King's Pathway)
is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep
walls of the narrow gorge of El Chorro, near Malaga (approximately 2
hours drive from Gibraltar).
The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is
in a highly deteriorated state. It is approx 1m wide, and is over
200m (700ft) above the river. Nearly the entire path has no handrail.
Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been
replaced by a (Via Ferrata) beam and a metallic wire on the wall.
However, using specialist climbing equipment, Barbary Rock Adventures
safely provide an exhilarating day on the walkway. Join us on a 4-5 hour
journey as we guide you through a via ferrata and short scramble to the
exciting high level walkway. There is also a chance for you to try your
hand at some rock climbing on one of the amazing rock routes in El Chorro.
At the end of the day we leave the walkway by way of a massive abseil!
