Roof of Madrid and Segovia, the undisputed queen of Guadarrama, so Peñalara. This time, his ascent was not something premeditated, a cold and dreary morning, a bit lazy attitude, and an apparent lack of initiative, were the ingredients of the cocktail tasted.
A sketch the route.
is not clear morning, we left Cotos aimlessly, in principle, go to the Laguna Grande to see what is there.
At times, the fog seems to be going away and the nearby peaks timidly.
Peñalara We arrived at the circus and the evidence clearly shows, little snow around here.
decided to cross the river and keep walking in search of a more favorable path.
the moment, time seems to hang on.
As we ascend, a question makes its way through our thoughts, "we will be charging for anything ?"...
Heaven increasingly shown gray, and the storm seems inexorably approaching.
A descent, lead us now to Five Lakes.
Where to melt water breaks through and reminds us that spring is already a reality.
We continued and soon see this path, if it is the classic southeast, a path that remains with snow well into spring. Then come ... and we're here, we equip and up.
The first part is the closest and fun.
Although snow enough potatoes and a couple of cracks, we will make progress difficult at first.
Sergio passes this delicate area, with a crack of about 3 meters and bad snow.
initial difficulties, a look back shows what we have.
The first section of the corridor, about 45 degrees at its steeper, leads to this relllano.
Sergio, takes over opening track.
From here, the fog will join us for the rest of the climb.
seek the best path, a little intuition, Sergio GPS ran out of batteries, and mine ... in the car.
The fog does not mean that we reach the top, and so glad that we get.
A short video summary
Around Peñalara by normal, had no history, except the problems we were entertained enough orientation without maps or GPS ... when will we learn?
A hug friends and the next.
