Expedition Costa Blanca

IMPORTANT: This event is only for those who have completed the Via Ferrata Skill Day, shared skills day, or have a relevant qualification.

Join us for a Last (day time😉) Via Ferrata adventure before the summer, on one of the area's most rewarding K2 via ferratas – Penya el Figueret! This route packs in a lot of fun in just a few hours, with a fast and scenic climb that gains elevation quickly – much like Ponoch – and ends with a fantastic rappel descent.

Expect exposed traverses, great views, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting. The route is ideal for those who’ve already tackled a couple of ferratas and want something a little more adventurous, without stepping up to K4.

The rappel at the end is not optional, but don’t worry – if you’re still building confidence with abseiling, Jay will guide you down safely. It’s a brilliant finish to a scenic and satisfying route.
After the ferrata, we’ll head to a local bar or restaurant to relax, refuel, and share the day’s stories.

Jota's Take: This is definitely one of my favourite K2s. It feels like a scaled-down version of Ponoch – big views, a fun climb, and a proper descent that makes it feel like a complete adventure.

IMPORTANTE: Este evento es solo para quienes hayan completado el Día de Habilidades de Vía Ferrata, el día compartido o tengan una calificación relevante.

Únete a nosotros para una última aventura de vía ferrata (de día 😉) antes del verano, una de las mejores vías ferratas K2 de la zona: ¡Penya el Figueret! Esta ruta ofrece mucha emoción en solo unas pocas horas, con una subida rápida y con buenas vistas, parecida a la de Ponoch, y termina con un rappel espectacular.
Encontrarás travesías expuestas, paisajes increíbles y un nivel de dificultad perfecto para quienes ya han hecho un par de ferratas y quieren algo un poco más emocionante, sin llegar al nivel K4.

El rappel al final no es opcional, pero no te preocupes – si aún estás aprendiendo, Jay te ayudará a bajar con seguridad. Es una forma genial de terminar esta ruta tan bonita y completa.
Después de la ferrata, iremos a un bar o restaurante cercano para relajarnos, comer algo y compartir historias del día.

Opinión de Jota: Esta es una de mis K2 favoritas. Me recuerda a una versión más fácil de Ponoch – con buenas vistas, una subida divertida y un descenso que hace que se sienta como una aventura completa.
