The Pala de Ip, despite being one of the most beautiful mountains to climb in the western Pyrenees, is still an unfrequented mountain and yet it is still very well known. Its truncated pyramid silhouette is unmistakable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undoubtedly, the long routes from any of its bases of ascent, a difference in altitude of around 1,800m on any of its routes and the absence of sheltered refuges, are the cause of this lack of suitors and the fact that it forms part of the list of mountains pending for many mountaineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once this mental obstacle has been overcome, those who decide to undertake the ascent following the route we propose here will find themselves in front of a fabulous mountain to which they are sure to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Circular route to the Pala de Ip from the Coll de Ladrones. Ascent via the Canal de Izas, Sam\u00e1n cirque, La Tronquera cirque, northern corridor between Pala de Ip and La Tronquera and western ridge. Descent via the peaks of La Tronquera, La Moleta, Elvira spring, Vasco hut and Picauv\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
