Descenso Paret de l’Aeri de Montserrat

The Paret de l’Aeri de Montserrat is a demanding dry canyon for experts, featuring 12 rappels with the longest at 45m. It requires two 50m ropes, though 60m is recommended. The approach from the Monastery parking can be shortened by taking the Sant Joan funicular, or involves a 1.5-hour hike up stairs and tracks towards Sant Jeroni and the antennas. The descent is long and sustained, taking 6 hours, with no escape routes. Anchoring is variable, utilizing trees, parabolts, spits, and chemical anchors, often shared with climbing routes. Due to recent rockfalls, a car shuttle is mandatory, parking one car at Santa Cecília and another at the Monastery. This canyon is rated v5-a1-IV, indicating a very high vertical challenge and significant commitment, with minimal water. No wetsuit is required.
