Stories, information and comments from Pico Ariero climbers :

Story by Tony Salter from Oxford, United Kingdom, submitted on 4/9/2009
Climbed this in August 2009. The climb to around cloud level at 1000m is tough. There are a couple routes out of Funchal to Pico Ariero, through Monte or towards Camacha, then left along E203. I took that route as though it might be easier; was 10-15% upto 1000m(!), but then your pretty much home & dry. Totally fantastic views; 30min descent with rims on fire!
My personal climb rating: 5 stars

Story by Andrew Nichols from , , submitted on 8/24/2006
I did this ascent in 2003, starting from Funchal. The climb out of the town is horrendous and in the heat I suffered all the way to the edge of the Parc. A Dutch tourist at the summit asked me how long it had taken: "Thats terrible", he said when I told him. Hardest sustained climb Ive ever done on a bike.
