Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/valencian-community/montanejos/things-to-do/guided-climbing-montanejos · Revisado: 2026-11-13 Dónde: Montanejos Montanejos is one of the sport-climbing areas of the Comunitat Valenciana: hundreds of routes on the limestone of the Mijares canyons, from beginner to ninth grade, and equipped or semi-equipped multi-pitch routes, slab and crack. If you have never climbed, a guide sets everything up and all you have to do is climb. ## Three ways to climb with a guide The introduction is for people who have never touched rock. It lasts three hours, from 9:30 to 12:30 or from 16:00 to 19:00. The guide sets up easy routes with the rope secured from above (top rope), so that, as the company says, falling is not possible: if you let go, the rope holds you. You start with the easiest and move up in difficulty. The minimum recommended age is 8, so it can be done as a family. The multi-pitch route is a wall of several pitches, with belay stations between them. Máxima Aventura runs them at Montanejos as half-day (4 to 6 pitches) or full-day (7 to 9), and names areas such as the Maimona ravine and the Risco del Morrón. It is not for beginners: it asks that you lead climb comfortably at V+ and be at least 12. Two climbers go per guide at most. The courses have five levels: sport climbing on single-pitch routes, equipped multi-pitch routes, traditional climbing with removable protection, aid climbing and self-rescue. They are 20 hours, two days of eight on rock and four of prior work, with a minimum of two students. ## What it costs The introduction costs €40 per person in groups of one to five, €37 for six to twelve, €35 for thirteen to twenty and €33 from twenty-one. It includes harness, helmet and climbing shoes, the guide, civil liability insurance and a photo report. On the half-day multi-pitch route, one person alone pays €160 and as a pair, €90 each; on the full-day one, €200 and €110. The personal equipment needed is sent by the company in writing. The courses cost €350 for one person, €200 per head as a pair and €185 with more than three students. Lunch is not included in anything. ## The rock and the season Visit Montanejos highlights the quality of the rock and a Mediterranean climate that allows climbing for much of the year. Máxima Aventura offers climbing here in both summer and winter: in July and August, the morning shift is better; in winter, the middle hours. The Maimona ravine, with its reddish walls above the village, is also one of the area's walks, along the Bojera path. ## Where you meet At the Máxima Aventura office, at calle Carretera de Valencia, 14, in the centre of Montanejos, with parking.
