Tips

Juanjo Alonso Kapi

November 22, 2022

The Risco del Puente or Puente de los Pollos is one of the fantasies of granite created by environmental erosion in the Posterior Pedriza. The cliff is hidden between large boulders and practically does not appear in sight until you are next to the stone arch. To get just below you have to make a small climb over some plates with small ledges and cracks. The ascent is not very difficult but then you have to go down the same place and that is when vertigo can arise. The natural bridge has a height of fifteen meters and a length of forty, it is a window to the telluric kingdom of mountain fantasies and an extraordinary viewpoint of the unique rocky landscape. The stone is also a good place to practice artificial climbing on the equipped route on the inside face of the granite arch. The route returns to the main path along the same path and turns to the right, uphill. At the first fork, follow the path to the right, go up a slope of pine trees and turn left onto the rope path, marked with yellow and white PR-1 trail markers.

Access to the north face is a bit lost but if you pay attention you can get there easily.
