Barranco de Urdiceto o Ordiceto
The Barranco de Urdiceto, near Parzán, is an aquatic canyon with 9 rappels, requiring a full wetsuit and two 20m ropes. The 20-minute approach involves a steep track, then a path directly to the streambed. The descent features a 10m rappel between large blocks, a 3m rappel to access the next anchor, and a 10m rappel that is somewhat boxed in by slippery walls. A 16m rappel can be done through the water flow or avoided via a handline to an anchor on the left. Further down, a 4m drop offers options for jumping, tobogganing, or rappelling. There's also a 4m rappel to protect access to the next anchor due to slippery ground, followed by an 11m rappel. The return walk is a quick 5 minutes.
