Climbing the "Kathedrale - Normalweg" (5+) on Roques de Garcia is a truly memorable experience. These iconic volcanic formations in Teide National Park offer stunning scenery and a unique climbing environment. The Normalweg on the Kathedrale presents a challenging but rewarding route with exposed positions and interesting moves. While the grade is 5+, the climbing can feel demanding due to the route's length and the specific rock type. Careful footwork and good route finding are crucial. The views from the summit are absolutely breathtaking, encompassing the entire caldera, Mount Teide, and, on a clear day, even neighboring islands. Be prepared for variable weather conditions, as the altitude can significantly impact temperature and wind. A rewarding climb that combines technical challenge with unparalleled natural beauty.
