Climbing La Concha | Sierra Blanca | Marbella Spain
Climbing La Concha | Sierra Blanca | Marbella Spain
For me, one of the best things about fitness is being able use your physical strength to explore the world. I am not a mountaineer but I am pretty fit, and I have to say it was more challenging than I expected. It was a steeper, rockier trail than I anticipated but more rewarding at the top than I could have imagined. It was an amazing experience and we climbed in August so it was extremely hot. We were blessed with clouds on the way up and then the sun came out when we hit the top. We even had little butterflies follow us the whole way. I have also listed some tips below, so if you do the climb too you can be prepared! ▼▼▼

Climbing Tips:
1. Take a lot of water. I suggest at least 2 litres per person on a cool day. (James and I had 1.5 litres each and I did feel like we had to ration it a bit)
2. Have good trail shoes and drift clothing.
3. Take an extra pair of socks and band aids.
4. Protein bars are helpful for energy to keep you going.
5. We packed a lunch and at it when we reached the top. There's a bench up top to sit at.
6. Time it well. Many people start early in the day to avoid the sun. Then some people go late afternoon to watch sunset at the top. But then you would be going down a mountain in the dark...If you choose to do that make sure you have a torch with batteries because it is not a walk in the park. Lots of loose rocks underfoot. James and I started our climb at 3pm, walked up in 2 hours and 30 min. Spent a half an hour at the top then started to go down just after 6pm and we were down at 8:20pm but we also ran the final stretch in the forest.
7. Take sunscreen, a hat or sunglasses.

LA CONCHA Marbella Hiking In November In The Sunshine
MARBELLA HIKING - We almost got up to the top of La Concha before giving up and hiking some other trail. This is our advnture.
This video is a combination of a street walking tour and a Marbella vlog, showing you what it's really like here in Marbella, Spain. We're here in November which I guess could be counted as Winter. That's right, we're in Marbella in Winter and to be honest, the weather's still really nice!
This is also a good video to show you the life of a digital nomad and maybe give you some motivation to become a digital nomad and travel more. Footage is filmed with my little action camera, the Sony FDRX3000 (Link below)

The mountain - La Concha is one of Marbella's most recognised landmarks. Standing at over 1200m it offers spectacular views over the Costa del Sol and on a clear day all the way to North Africa and Gibraltar

Interview with Inge Rinkhoff at Casa La Concha
La Concha Challenge 2020
Sunday 19th January saw the P.E. Department return to a familiar foe. The La Concha mountain that adorns the skyline of Marbella, from whichever angle you choose to approach, is a domineering and intimidating structure. Mythological folklore has it that it has, in the past, been rechristened the ¨Mother in Law¨ due to her dominating aspect and panoramic, somewhat permanent, surveillance over the entire Marbella region!
Nothing can happen in the realms below without, it would seem, the overarching perusal of this majestic mother mountain. Standing 1200m tall the shadow that this emanating structure casts on each day, and from each angle, is, for some, undoubtedly intimidating. Indeed, the fabled mountain metaphor is that ̈ we do not conquer the boulders and granite but rather ourselves¨ when we take on such an arduous ascent! Despite the size of our task, the uptake was typically EIC in proportions.
We were blessed by our second highest uptake, ever, for the 2020 challenge. Our 7th attempt at this beast. Nearly 70 participants as experienced as Mr Hogan down to as enthusiastic as Reggie Lesley (Year 1). Each climber facing their own fears and foes. For some it was fitness, for others vertigo, a few suffered from panic at the precipice, indeed there were even screams at the sight of some infamous caterpillars, while some others just pined for a pint!
However, we pressed on as a collective, supported by our guides from Descubre and emboldened by the sunshine breaking through the clouds. Having set off in the darkness of dawn, the summit of La Concha was awash with bright sunshine and some welcome respite. Every single participant made it to the top, each conquering their own challenges. We salute you all. Even more praise is deserved as this event has raised nearly 500 euros for the Darkness into Light Charity. Their representatives had met us at dawn as we set off on our challenge and they celebrated our arrival at the top with a flurry of congratulatory messages. Their work is primarily with combating suicide through mental health initiatives and counseling. Their relevance with young people can not be felt more acutely than in this current time and we are grateful to help raise awareness and promote discussion around a typically taboo subject. Indeed, I hope all participants can reflect on the enormity of their personal and collective achievement. 1200m climbed on foot and sometimes by hand. Hundreds of euros raised, heads cleared and points to our inner doubts made.
Mind over Matter now further reinforced by Mind over Mountain.
La Concha 0 EIC 1. Fears and failings conquered by persistence and perseverance. The moral of the mountain I suppose.
With thanks, from the P.E. Department, to all participants for your role in ¨La Concha 2020.¨

La concha - Marbella , subida por Istan.
SALIDA
Hotel Altos de Istán. Detrás de este y al pie de la montaña, veremos un depósito de agua vallado. Si lo miramos desde el hotel, vemos un camino que pasa por detrás del depósito (30S-0326227 / UTM-4049866) y sube en diagonal, bordeando la montaña por la derecha.
Ruta de senderismo Istán - La ConchaHay otro camino por la izquierda que de forma más brusca inicia la ascensión hasta 'EL PICACHO' (formación rocosa situada un poco a la izquierda de donde esta el hotel y en forma de saliente) donde veremos que este camino sigue subiendo hasta alcanzar el primer puerto 'PUERTO CURRITO' Esta sería otra opción, pero no la tomaremos por ser la subida más fuerte.
El camino que comentábamos, que sube en diagonal por la derecha de la montaña, es algo más suave y primero nos llevará a la explanada 'LLANO DE LOS PILONES' (30S-0326463 / UTM-4049473), desde donde tendremos que seguir subiendo - prácticamente sin camino- en línea recta hasta alcanzar el primer puerto 'PUERTO CURRITO' (30S-0326596 / UTM-4049381) no existe camino desde el llano de los Pilones hasta este puerto, cosa que no ocurre con la otra opción anteriormente comentada, la subida por 'EL PICACHO'.
Una vez llegado a este primer puerto vemos el perfil del siguiente puerto 'PUERTO VENTANA'. En 'PUERTO CURRITO' el camino tiene una bifurcación, uno que sube directamente hacia la cuerda de la loma y el otro que por la derecha nos llevará a 'PUERTO VENTANA' (30S-0326806 / UTM-4048972). A partir de aquí el caminio desciende ligeramente, para volver a hacer una subida hasta la próxima loma 'LOMILLA DE ENMEDIO' (30S-0326859 / UTM-4048821). Seguiremos el mismo camino y nos llevará a la siguiente loma 'PUERTO GILITO' (30S-0326908 / UTM-4048686).
Vista del Pantano desde el camino de La ConchaDesde aquí y mirando al Este vemos una cañada 'GRACIA LEÓN' (30S-0327222 / UTM-4048457). Si seguimos por la buena ruta nos servirá como referencia un pino grande y solitario en lo alto de la cañada. Cruzamos la cañada, siempre muy atentos a no perder la senda que en algunos momentos será difícil de ver.
Una vez cruzada la cañada subimos a la próxima loma 'PUERTO DE LA CIFUENTES' (30S-0327123 / UTM-4048345). Desde este puerto vemos la cañada siguiente que hay que atravesar 'CAÑADA DEL CASTILLEJO' (30S-0327583 / UTM-4048125). Al otro lado de la cañada debemos ver cómo asciende el camino hasta el último puerto 'PUERTO DE LOS CORRALILLOS' (30S-0327307 / UTM-4047872). Desde aquí ya divisamos todo el perfil del 'PICO DE LA CONCHA'. A partir de aquí ya no existe el camino y debemos subir por la cuerda de esta última loma hasta coronar arriba, pero no sin antes entretenernos en admirar el bello paisaje que nos ofrece este puerto.
Vista de Marbella desde el pico de La ConchaComo decíamos, subimos la cuerda de esta loma hasta coronar la cima donde encontraremos un camino que viene desde la 'CRUZ DE JUANAR' (30S-0328090 / UTM-4047571), lo tomaremos por la derecha y tras unos centenares de metros llegaremos al 'PICO DE LA CONCHA' (30S-0327785 / UTM-4046980) (1215 m.). Una vez coronado vemos recompensado nuestro esfuerzo al disfrutar de la maravillosa vista que nos ofrece este hito: las montañas de Marruecos hasta Sierra Nevada, pasando por 'El Torrecilla', 'El Peñón de Gibraltar' y toda la Costa del Sol Occidental.
La vuelta se hará por el mismo camino.
