Not heard of any climbing but the mountain walking is said to be really good.

regarding climbing... in Pico do areeiro or boca do buraco, some trad on volcanic rock, but not a lot of info. http://www.madeira24.com/english/activities/climbing/climbing.htm

In reply to rulio:

"accessed from the top to place a security rope"

Now does that sound a teeny weeny bit like they are suggesting top roping?

In reply to Trangia: it does sound like it, but i think they meant to say in the website that the "security rope" is an abseil rope to gain access to the climbs.
