easy hikes
For people starting in the sport of mountaineering or coming back from an injury or just a long period without practicing it. Well marked tracks and easy to walk.
0km < LENGTH < 10km
ACCUMULATED POSITIVE HEIGHT <500m/600m
ACCUMULATED POSITIVE HEIGHT <500m/600m
INTERMEDIATE
People with previous experience doing easy hikes or having a good shape, even if they had not made mountaineering before. The main difference with easy hikes level is the accumulated positive height. Distance is going to be similar as in easy hikes, but there couldn be some sections walking out of trails. In any case, no specific technical climbing is needed.
0km < LENGTH < 10-12km
500m/600m < ACCUMULATED POSITIVE HEIGHT < 800m
500m/600m < ACCUMULATED POSITIVE HEIGHT < 800m
DEMANDING
It is mandatory to have previous and long term experience in mountaneering as well as practice it regularly. Great shape is needed. These kind of hikes demand a lot of time in the mountains, and accumulated positive height. Also technical climbing can be involved. You have to be self-sufficient in terms of hydration, eating, equipment and progression techniques thorough any kind of terrain. You could face adverse weather conditions.
LENGTH > 10-12km
800m < ACCUMULATED POSITIVIE HEIGHT < 1200m

VERY DEMANDING
A next step of demanding hikes. More length, more accumulated positive height, isolated places, sections with mantained technical requirements. These are hard routes, mainly focused in Mountaineering as a Sport, trying to reach a big summit, or completing a difficult route, The pace will be high and usually you will have to carry a more heavy backpack.

Wolf´s Peak/ Pico del Lobo (2274m)

Su silueta, su nombre, su altura y los contrafuertes rocosos de su cara Norte, le dan un atractivo al que es difícil resistirse. Esta montaña es la más elevada de la Sierra de Ayllón, continuación de la Sierra de Guadarrama hacia el Este. Situada entre los puertos de Somosierra y de la Quesera alcanza una altura de 2274m.

Merecido almuerzo y disfrute de las vistas, para a continuación descender hacia el Norte y visitar la cueva que da nombre a esta montaña. - NIVEL: FÁCIL - LONGITUD TOTAL: 12,00km. - DESNIVEL POSITIVO ACUMULADO: 600m. |
El Yelmo (1718m)
El Yelmo es quizá la cumbre más famosa del gran batolito granítico de La Pedriza. Coronando en altura la denominada Pedriza anterior, con sus 1.718m de altura se yergue imponente el Yelmo, que hace gala a su nombre y bien pudiera ser la coraza o escudo de un caballero gigante petrificado. En su cara Noreste, se abre una fisura, que deja una angosta chimenea, por la que se puede subir. Ello exige una escalada fácil o trepada hasta salir de ella prácticamente en su cumbre. - NIVEL: INTERMEDIO. - LONGITUD TOTAL: 10,00 km . - DESNIVEL POSITIVO ACUMULADO: 843 m. |
La Maliciosa (2274m)

Es esta, una de sus ascensiones más duras (10,5km y 1150m de desnivel positivo hasta su cima). - NIVEL: EXIGENTE - LONGITUD TOTAL: 10,50 km . - DESNIVEL POSITIVO ACUMULADO: 1150 m. |
