Pyrenees Guide to the 3000 m

See on Amazon

 Altitude: 2747m

Situation:

Lleida Pyrenees, in the San Mauricio y Aguas Tuertas National Park.

When to go:

From the end of June to mid-October.

Difficulties of the route:

High difficulty; there are IIº and IIº+ passes that require climbing equipment (at least on the descent), starting from the Mallafré refuge and through its north channel (between 3h45 and 4h of ascent).

Complicated sections:

- The ascent route is full of them and can be made difficult by the state of the snow on the snowfields. It is better to descend by a different route to the one marked for the ascent.

Recommended equipment:

- Trekking boots.
- Crampons and ice axe out of season. Roping and climbing equipment.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen.
