Risco de El Pájaro, Mountain summit in Sierra de Guadarrama, Spain
Risco de El Pájaro rises to 1,549 meters above sea level within the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range in the Community of Madrid.
The mountain received its first documented ascent in spring 1916 by a group of four climbers including José Fernández Zabala and Joaquín G. Bellido.
The summit forms part of Guadarrama National Park, contributing to the natural heritage of central Spain through its granite formations and ecological diversity.
Access to the mountain requires following unmarked trails from the northern face, starting at Laguna de los Pájaros through sections that demand careful navigation.
The east face of the mountain contains geological formations known as organ tubes, featuring concentrated crystallized quartz formations within its granitic structure.
