Sea2Summit Bernia
In the Costa Blanca, Spain
Where it all began
The Sea2Summit Bernia is where the idea of these challenges was born. This challenge involves linking up a huge geological ridge feature that rises all the way from sea level at the Peñon d'Ifach in Calpe to the summit of the Sierra de Bernia mountain on the Costa Blanca coastline of east Spain.
There's two options in this challenge, one on foot as a trail run and the other is rock climbing and scrambling. These are described below.
