Naranjo de Bulnes

Rising from the Macizo Central of the Picos de Europa, Naranjo de Bulnes (Picu Urriellu) is a striking limestone tower within Asturias and the Cabrales region, set inside the national park. Its compact profile and vertical, sustained limestone walls have long attracted alpinists and big‑wall climbers; the peak sits at roughly 2,518 metres and presents long multi‑pitch routes that combine height, exposure and technical endurance—conditions that define much of the climbing recorded on film here.

ORBAYU [full movie] a climbing Odyssey with Nina Caprez and Cédric Lachat documents a specific attempt on a 500‑metre, 13‑pitch line on the Naranjo. The film concentrates tightly on the route’s sustained difficulty—culminating in a reported crux pitch around 8c—and on the psychological and partnership dynamics involved in trying a single, committed multi‑pitch sport line at altitude. Shot on a spring attempt, the piece is valuable as a document of how sustained technical difficulty, commitment and alpine conditions interact: viewers will see rope management over many pitches, how climbers rehearse and attempt hard sequences at height, and how weather and objective terrain influence on‑route decision making. Rather than a broad athlete biography, the film functions as a practical study of movement, route reading and the mental negotiation required when a single pitch can determine success on a long, exposed climb.
