Introduction

The via ferrata of La Rendija has 2 sections that run consecutively and are equipped with clamps and chain handrails, there are no bridges or overhangs, although there are some other athletic steps of medium difficulty. The two sections described are separated by a section of edge, through which it is easy to progress (II degree of climbing), as well as by a section of slope that can be covered simply by walking.

This via ferrata is located in the Sierra del Calar de la Puebla de Don Fadrique, specifically, in the Piedra de la Rendija, at the top of which it ends. The Piedra de la Rendija is a limestone rock, high and prominent, very visible from La Puebla, and is cleft from side to side, hence its peculiar name.

Description

DURATION:

The realization of this activity requires 1/2 day.

DIFFICULTY:

Very high. The realization of a via ferrata requires the knowledge of specific techniques and the use of adequate equipment. As in any climbing activity, there is an obvious exposure to falls with serious consequences. Likewise, there could be rock falls, sudden changes in weather or other circumstances associated with mountain activities. The fixed equipment of the via ferrata, on which the progression and fall protection of its users depends (clamps, handrails, belays, lifeline, etc.) may not be in optimal conditions at the time of the activity, since it is a facility open to the public, without permanent control and located outdoors on a mountainous terrain. It is the responsibility of each user to consult/check if the installation is in good condition before using it, as well as to have the material and master the techniques that would allow him to leave the via ferrata at any time. Never underestimate the risks or overestimate your abilities. In case of doubt, always consult a professional mountain guide.

Assessment of aspects 1 to 5.

MATERIAL NEEDED:

Individual: comfortable and breathable clothing, hiking boots, high sensitivity gloves ("cut finger" gloves), via ferrata kit (helmet, harness, and specific dissipater set), lanyard (e.g. 1 locking biner and dynamic rope), descender (eight or similar, with locking biner), rope ring for self-locking knot (for self-belaying), warm clothing according to season, water (1.5-2 l.), food, sunglasses, sunscreen, charged cell phone, charged headlamp, pocket knife and lighter.

Collective: 60 m. double dynamic rope, 2-3 climbing express tapes, 2 locking biner and first aid kit.

BEST TIME/S:

Throughout the year.

MAPPING:

National Topographic map of Spain. Puebla de Don Fadrique (MTN50 0930).

LANDSCAPE, FLORA AND FAUNA:

Karstic landscape dominated by reforestation pine forests. Sightings of mountain goats are frequent.

PEAKS/PORTS:

We ascend to the Piedra de la Rendija (1809 masl.).

REMARKS:

This via ferrata has an escape route at the end of the route on the edge (after overcoming the first section). This loophole allows us to avoid the second section and connects halfway up the slope with the rail that leads back to the parking lot. If we need to leave the ferrata if we find ourselves in either of the two sections, we can rappel using the belays installed for this purpose.

The via ferrata should never be done if there is a risk of thunderstorms, since the metallic elements that compose it are excellent lightning rods.

In vertical progression using clamps, we must always respect a safety distance from the person in front of us (at least one stretch of lifeline between people).

RULES TO RESPECT:

The realization of this via ferrata requires the prior submission to the City Council of La Puebla de Don Fadrique of a liability waiver by each participant. This document must be requested, and then sent (along with a copy of the ID), using the following email address: ayuntamiento@puebladedonfadrique.es.

In addition, the realization of this via ferrata requires obtaining prior authorization because there are periods in which birds nesting occurs. To do so, an application must be sent to the Territorial Delegation of Environment and Territorial Planning in Granada (Address: C/ Joaquina Eguaras, 2, Edif. Almanjayar, 18071, Granada, Tlf.: 958 14 52 00, Fax: 958 14 52 15). To do so telematically, please use the link (which works even if it says that it's “out of service”).

WEATHER:

ROAD CONDITIONS:

Before doing the via ferrata it is recommended to consult the conditions of the via ferrata (state of the equipment) when contacting the Town Hall of Puebla de Don Fadrique to fill out the liability waiver.

How to arrive by car

We leave from Granada through the bypass (highway A-44) in the direction of Jaén/Madrid. We take the exit 118 (A-92/Almeria/Murcia/Malaga/Algeciras/N-342/Cordoba/Aeropuerto) in the direction of Almeria/Murcia. Already in the A-92 we continue on it until we pass Guadix, joining the A-92N in the direction of Baza/Murcia. Past Baza, we take the exit 60 (A-330/A-4302/Cúllar/Huescar/Puebla Don Fadrique) and continue along the road A-330 in the direction of Cúllar/Huescar/Puebla Don Fadrique. Following the A-330, we will pass by Cúllar and Galera, we leave aside Huéscar, and will arrive to la Puebla de Don Fadrique, after which we take the A-317 towards La Vidriera/Santiago de la Espada. Through this last road we will arrive at a crossroads where we will have to turn right and continue along the road. GR-9100 towards Los Collados de la Sagra. About 60 meters before arriving at kilometer 15 of this road, we will take a lane of land jutting out to the leftThrough this lane we will pass by the farmhouses of Los Balcones and Pozanco. Advancing without deviating, we will leave on the right a heliport and we will arrive at the Cortijo de Juan Robles. When crossing this last farmhouse, the path we follow will make us descend briefly, cross the headwaters of a stream and, flanked by trees, begin to climb. Soon we will leave aside a detour to the right (that goes to the Huéscar-Las Santas road) and we will continue ascending. 3 sharp bends to the left, and 3 to the right, alternating and somewhat separated from each other, will end up leading us through pine trees to a crossroads where we will find the word "ferrata" painted (on the left side of the road), and we should find parking (point 0) in such a place.

How to get there by public transport

Access to this route, using the public transport shown here, will require, due to the buses available, an overnight stay in La Puebla de Don Fadrique for at least one night.

The buses that depart in the direction of the Puebla de Don Fadrique do it from the Bus station in Granada which do it at different hours. Once we get to the bus stop of the Puebla de Don Fadrique, we will have to contact any public transport service so that they can drive us to the Road up to Calar at the start of route (point 0). When we arrive at this point we will have to arrange with the carrier to pick us up there 3:00 h. later so that we can return to the Puebla de Don Fadrique. Buses leaving from Puebla de Don Fadrique in the direction of Granada also do it at different hours

Route

The approach on foot to the via ferrata starts at a crossroads (point 0). We will identify the junction when we see that, on the left, in the ditch of the lane by which we have arrived by car, there is a painted with several arrows and the word "ferrata". The graffiti leads to confusion, because we could think that we must continue along the lane that has brought us there, however, we must leave our vehicle parked on the right and continue walking along the secondary lane that starts to the left.

Parking (point 0)

Shortly after starting to walk we will find the sign that announces the via ferrata (point 1), and, a little further on, continuing along the secondary path, a stone milestone located on the right that indicates the beginning of the path we must follow (point 2).

Above us, the Piedra de la Rendija, along whose walls runs the via ferrata.

Comienzo de la senda (punto 2) — Beginning of the path (point 2)

The path, marked with milestones, begins crossing a reforested pine forest. Once through the pine forest, we will continue advancing, always ascending, through a somewhat loose terrain, with a steeper slope and where the vegetation becomes shrubby. In this area the route of the path becomes somewhat diffuse, however, some milestones will indicate the way to follow until you reach the base of the wall where the first section of the via ferrata begins (point 3).

Senda a través del pinar — Path through the pine forest

En dirección al inicio de la vía ferrata — In the direction of the start of the via ferrata

The first section of the via ferrata, a short wall, we will start climbing thanks to a line of staples. Just after, on less vertical terrain, we will use two chain handrails to reach the foot of a second wall.

Pasamanos de cadena antes de llegar al segundo muro — Chain handrail before reaching the second wall

We will use the staples to climb up through the second wall, but, at a certain point, we will have to position our feet on the rock to, with the help of our hands and the staples provided for this purpose, move slightly to the right and continue ascending.

Paso sin grapas para pies del segundo muro (visto desde arriba) — Step without staples for second wall footing (viewed from above)

Parte final del segundo muro — Final part of the second wall

Soon we will reach a block from which we will have to descend a little and place ourselves on a nice ledge located at the foot of a third wall. With the only help of staples for the hands, we will move to the left along the ledge and we will arrive at the end of it. At that point, without sticking to the clamps, and making use of the supports for the feet that we will find in the rock, we will save a short overhang that, in the described way, will pass us almost unnoticed.

Cornisa a los pies del tercer muro — Ledge at the foot of the third wall

Corto desplome a los pies del tercer muro — Short collapse at the feet of the third wall

After overcoming the short collapse we will only have to go up the wall and reach the wide ledge where the first section of the via ferrata ends.

Once the first section of the via ferrata is finished, the life line disappears and a short section of edge begins where we can move with some freedom. Several belays, some with carabiners and others with rings, will show us the way to follow and will allow us to secure our progression with the rope if necessary. The progression through the ridge, without being difficult (grade II rock climbing), involves several climbs and somewhat exposed climb-downs.

Once we have passed the edge, we will come out to a ridge from which we can choose to leave the via ferrata or continue to the second section of the same. If we decide to do the former, we will have to continue halfway up the slope to the right, taking as a reference a post that protrudes behind some pine trees. From the post, a secondary lane will lead us to the main lane which, in turn, will lead us downhill to the parking lot (point 0).

If we decide to continue the via ferrata, we will have to continue on the slope and overcome a rocky step on the left. After that, we will reach the base of the wall on which is located the sentry box against fires of Calar de la Puebla (summit of the Piedra de la Rendija).

Lugar en el que se inicia el segundo tramo de la vía ferrata — Place at which to start the second leg of the via ferrata.

Inicio del segundo tramo de la vía ferrata — Start of the second stretch of the via ferrata.

The second section of the via ferrata begins, like the previous one, climbing a short wall. Soon we will begin to move to the left, placing us on a vira where the foot clamps disappear. At this point, with the hand clamps somewhat separated, we will have to handle the rock, with hands and feet, in an almost obligatory way.

Vía Ferrata - La Rendija — First wall of the second section of the via ferrata.

Once this difficulty is overcome, we will make a comfortable left traverse equipped only with the life line. At the end of this traverse, we will begin to climb a last wall whose upper part is surmounted in opposition, with clamps for feet and hands. To exit the wall we will use a chain handrail and, already on easier terrain, we will approach the "crack", we will lean out of it and we will finish the via ferrata in the vicinity of the sentry box (point 4).

At the summit of the Piedra de la Rendija, it is well worth taking a break, as the views from there are formidable.

To the northwest are the Collados de la Sagra, the Castellón de los Miravetes and La Guillimona. To the northeast, the Sierra de las Cabras in Albacete and the Macizo de Revolcadores in Murcia, where the Atalaya (2083 meters above sea level) and the Obispo (2014 meters above sea level) are located, respectively, the highest peaks of both provinces.

La Sagra dominates the landscape to the west. At its feet, a dense pine forest occupies the valley of the Barbata River.

After enjoying the views, we will leave the summit using a staircase and we will look at the Rendija, a cleft that crosses from side to side the rock on which we are and to which it owes its name.

We will then follow the path that, to our right and gently descending, soon leads to a lane, along which we will continue descending (point 5). After some time following the lane we will arrive at the intersection where our vehicle is parked (point 0).

The tracks for GPS in general, and, in particular, registered in ravines, corridors, corners and other tight places, generally contain inaccuracies.

Most of the GPS reflect the graphic scale of the map in the screen. As we activate the zoom of the device, the scale of the map will vary. If we “get closer to the ground,” the scale of the map decreases, and, consequently, we see a smaller amount of “ground” than if we “get away” from it, that is to say, that we increase the scale of the map.

When you follow a downloaded and previously stored track in our GPS, we must ensure that the scale of the map on which the path appears is never too small. We will seek to “get away” from the floor, and we will not obsess with faithfully following the stored track , because we may not notice the inaccuracies that the latter contains.

The precision of the GPS is used to record the route was a, and the GPS that we are using for doing it is another, and therefore, it will be impossible that the points of both tracks, which serves us as a guide and that we are recording, match at 100%. It is for this reason that, even with a single way to move from a particular place, let us note that the track serves us guide runs several meters to the right or to the left of our location.

The equipment, signaling, and any other type of installation on the route may also suffer unforeseen variations with the passage of time, for various reasons such as weather, deterioration, or vandalism; therefore it is strongly recommended to be accompanied by a guide if you do not know the terrain or the situation in which the signaling or equipment are located.

Also, we invite you to document yourselves with books and specialized guides to complement the information described on this website.

Pre-plan the activity. You should obtain reliable and proven information about the route and the activity that is intended to perform, in terms of the physical demands, technique, equipment necessary to make it, etc, In this “design phase” of the activity is where you can act on those elements that generate the risk that the activity entails.

Inform yourselves about the weather in the area. Do not forget that the weather in the mountain is very variable. Today, there are numerous possibilities of obtaining this information. This information is valuable to analyze, evaluate and assess the tolerability of these risks (rain, snow, storms, wind, etc.) which may be present or to accompany the activity. The paths may vary a lot depending on the time of the year and the weather conditions, therefore it is recommended to pay attention to the recommendations made in this regard and check the weather before each departure.

Each one of the participants of an activity must assess whether the weather is or not adverse to their own physical condition and skills to cope with this activity and it is your responsibility to do it or not.

Confirm in the area the prior information. Once you have arrived at the area of the activity to confirm the information previously acquired on the condition of the trails, roads, the snow conditions, weather, water level of the rivers, the situation of the sea to the specific activities that develop there, equipment that could have the sports facility, in case you need them, and dangers arising lately in the path and/or activity etc

This information can be confirmed in the information centers, mountain guides, shelters, Police, etc., The information contained in this website is based on optimal conditions and equipment in good condition to do the activity, and it is not the responsibility of the Provincial council of Granada the conditions of the sport equipment.

Adapt the activity to our physical conditions. Be modest and learn to resign. You have to know to renounce, even though one is very experienced. The mountain will always be there and will wait for us. Always put first the safety of the collective, second the safety of the individual. You should never be too self-confident or lessen your focus, no tter how easy the activity is. The physical ability is fundamental to the realization of any activity in the mountains, so there is no overvaluing our physical abilities, and we have to know how to adapt the paths to our terms. In case of not having sufficient capacity, users should refrain from doing the routes.

Adapt the activity to our technical conditions. For the carrying out of any activity in the mountain and more those that involve some risk, it is necessary to have knowledge of the specific techniques and necessary to carry them out; so we recommend people who do not have the necessary knowledge to refrain from performing any activity, even those that seem easier like hiking. The simple reading of the reviews contained in this website do not train any person for practicing the activity. It is always recommended the accompaniment of guides and staff specialized in the mountains.

Likewise, it requires a prior and deep understanding of the medium in which the activity is carried out, as well as the right time and the optimal conditions to carry it out.

Personal technical equipment. It is absolutely essential to bring the technical material, clothing, footwear, specific documentation, equipment, sun protection, food and water, etc., necessary to perform sports activities. If the activity is of high commitment, it should be expanded to first aid kit and emergency resources. The equipment must be perfectly revised and adjusted to the information and pre-planning.

Subjective objective risks inherent in all sport activities on the mountain. In all athletic activities on the mountain there is an evident exposure to falls with very serious consequences, which may be, but not limited to: brain Trauma, in limbs due to slipping on rocks, in the jumps without any visibility of the bottom, poor reception to the water in the jumps, assurance deficient in the descent of rappelling, extreme tiredness, excess of confidence, lack of preparation or equipment for the activity, inappropriate use of material, hypothermia, and dehydration.

This type of sporting activity involves risks that each participant must know and assume.

We must never underestimate risks and overestimate our capabilities.

It is possible that the fixed equipment the activity counts on (ravines, climbing, etc) and that depends on the progression and/or the protection against the fall in some sections, is not in good condition, as we do not have a regulated periodic maintenance. It is the responsibility of each user to see/check if the material is in good conditions and judge whether or not they can trust in it before you use it.

There are activities which develop in the snow, in places that are very exposed, or in the inside of a course of water, and depending on the time (during defrost, immediately after a snowfall, after a period of rain or storm), could dramatically increase the flow becoming very technical and dangerous. We must never underestimate risks and overestimate our capabilities.

This type of sporting activity involves risks that each participant must know and assume.

As well as an activity in the nature, there may be rock falls, landslides or trees, etc

Guides. In case you go with a guide, you must follow the instructions of the guides, coordinators, or people with more experience, preventing situations of risk, personal or groupal. It is necessary to put in the knowledge of the guides or companions of the activity any possible injury or incident which may affect the development of the activity before and during the athletic activity in nature.

The participants in the activities contained in this website must possess sufficient knowledge and the physical capacity which will enable you to make the specified activities, and to deal with them they must have sufficient capacity, technical and physical, so that they can do it independently and safely. Likewise, they assume the risks inherent in this type of activities and have the knowledge and the equipment needed to perform the activities, and must be approved by the U. E. and in optimum condition for your use.

Do not go alone to the mountain to perform the activity. If you do so, limit yourselves only to places with prior experience, known and consistent with your physical ability and technique. Except in exceptional circumstances, never to leave alone a member of the group, and much less if they're injured or fatigued.

Report on the activity and planned itinerary and respect what has been planned. Communicate to someone (shelter, camping, hotel, friends, relatives) the place and the activity to be performed. And importantly, even if sometimes it is cumbersome, it is imperative to warn that same person of the end of the activity. This recommendation is essential when trying to perform a solo activity.

Graduations. The participants of the activities should be trained to perform the activities in function of the graduation set for each activity, so it is your responsibility to know these rankings and the risks that it involves, therefore you assume performing the activity and everything that could happen.

Learn how to orient yourself. Carry GPS, mapping of the area and compass. You can not trust everything to the GPS, in certain situations it may fail. With a proper handling of the compass and map, we can reduce the risks and prevent accidents.

The tracks for GPS in general, and, in particular, registered in ravines, corridors, corners and other tight places, generally contain inaccuracies.

The precision of the GPS is used to record the route is one, and the GPS that we are using for doing it is another, and therefore, it will be impossible that the points of both tracks which serves us as a guide and that we are recording, match at 100%. It is for this reason that, even when there is only one way to travel a particular location, let us note that the track that serves us as a guide runs several meters to the right or to the left of our location.

The activity in the mountains is not finished until we return to a safe place. The summit is only half of the journey. Do let your guard down until you're completely safe. This includes returning home in your car. There are too many mountain sports practitioners who have road accidents after a tough activity.

The digital mapping used in this website has been generated by the IGN (National Geographic Institute), to be used according to the conditions of the license of use and in accordance with the Ministerial Order FOM/2807/2015.

If there's any accident alert the emergency number, and even the family members or emergency contact. Every minute is important. To meet this recommendation is necessary to carry a mobile phone with charged batteries or any other means of communication to launch the alarm. The GPS is very useful to properly communicate our position and to facilitate our location. In Spain, the monst useful emergency phone numbers are 112 (Civil Protection), 062 (Civil Guard).
