Stories, information and comments from El Teide climbers

Story by mistermaumau from , France, submitted on 26/09/2011

I did this one about 15 years ago alone on New Year''s Eve with no training, it''s tough but as there are constant changes in gradient you always get a chance to recover before the next tough part. At the time the steepest part around 1600m altitude had a really terrible road surface and it angered me so much I actually got off and walked 500m. Don''t be fooled by the general gradient, the downhill part as you enter the volcano is included for the calculation. You cannot ride all the way to the top but you can walk/crawl it, the views are amazing.
