Climbing in Lanzarote
Nov 9, 2026
Video of me climbing a large hill / small mountain before breakfast one morning. I just got to the top in time for the sun rise which was good. Unfortunately, the rest of my family didn't share my enthusiasm for an early morning climb so I had to do the videoing myself.
Apologies for the poor sound quality - it was very windy.
Right, it's about, I don't know,
seven o'clock in the morning or something.
I've already climbed this before.
I went straight up here, onto the ridge and onto the top. To give
you some idea of scale, that little knobbly thing
at the top is like a monument and that's about the
size of a person. So it's a reasonably big hill.
So instead of going up that way, I think I'll just
move on over this left-hand side
and go up the ridge
to the high point there.
I was going to go
up that ridge. That looks a bit easy. So I'll go up
this steep bit here, straight up the top.
First of all got
to get over this.
No worries. About
halfway up now. It's
reasonably steep.
Holding the camcorder level.
You can see it's a 45 degree climb maybe. Fairly rough underfoot.
This stuff looks like concrete but it's very flaky.
So the last thing I want to do is slide
down there. It'd be like the almighty cheese grater.
I haven't got far to go though. Be right
But
nice
climb
for
breakfast.
Have
extra
sausages
now.
Spot
on.
Thanks
for
watching.
