Climbing the 3thousanders of the Pyrenees

 

Spain is usually known for its beaches and sunshine, but few people know that we also have the Pyrenees with more that 212 peaks higher that 3000 meters.

It also has the best alpinist and mountaineers of the world. All of them learn everything they know in the Pyrenees.

Our proposal: reach the 3 most important 3000 meter peaks and get the Pirineista Stamp, given by Kabi and the first woman to climb the 14-eight thousands highest peaks of the world, Edurne Pasaban.
