Watchfree Nightmare Campus

19 - March - 2011 La Mira

The group at the top of the Mira completely covered by snow .


Today is Father's Day, and then to congratulate those who are left with Navarredonda direction, where we will give a good account of coffee and muffins which Felix usually take the day coming up with us.
As we do not want to tempt fate and because of the day it is and how good the weather, we decided not to reach the platform (as we believe it will be crowded) and stay and begin the march from kilometer 6.
Since we know very well that we will not the kind of snow (although I presume), we put everything in the backpack, and began the march .


not want to go to look for sites and as usual this time of year and conditions of the mountain lends itself to it, we decided to change course and get into areas that are usually impractical by the amount of broom there.
From the outset we took the road to Puerto de Peon


but later we will turn to our right (to the height of Charco cure) and make a ridge covered with snow, which otherwise would impossible to climb it .


gorges cross the various paving the way


and then put on our crampons, we began the climb up the ridge us to the upper later crested.

From below, the area we chose to climb seemed shorter and less steep, but nothing is further from reality, it seems that we will not ever coming up and the way we require a constant effort .


As a result of all this, the group is breaking up and each requires its own pace, in order not to get up exhausted.


Are we seeing the end of the climb


and we're getting there slowly.


order to rest a few minutes, we at the top a small step stop and regain your strength by eating some fruit .


resume the road and we are leaving behind us the port area of \u200b\u200bthe Pawn, now we have a little ridge. The snow conditions are perfect in this area and this will make our way is lighter .


We passed
areas in which the slope is tilted enough and requires of us a greater concentration n.


already have an eye on the area behind the Galayos and follow the path heading toward the Mira .


Behind us we see the dry, dry channels, pending for one of the Pisapraos .


The sky is clear, the sun shines


and this makes any angle view of the snow covered peaks, is impressive .


The one concern that always makes surveying the landscape in search of new routes to .


We're almost there and this makes the group will be reuniting to reach the summit together .


The top is completely covered by snow, and after some time off, we began the descent or
passing as close as possible to the area that overlooks the peaks of the Galayos .


The search for a place to eat dry and not covered by snow, it is almost impossible, so try to take some foot.


not go down the same site of the climb, but we will go on the opposite side, try to find another edge on the opposite side of the Charco del Cura area ,


found a gap between stone area and this seemed to start well down .

're getting to the area without snow, we took off our crampons and tried to overcome, without falling, down throats with plenty of water.


We are close to the cars and we leave behind the snowy edges that previously we had to overcome .


has been a long march and we eager to take off our boots, change and go's have some good pitchers of beer.

12 - March - 2011 Risco Las Culebras

Today we had thought about doing this march but the weather conditions us.
Leaving Ávila, like nearly every Saturday, and headed Navarredonda de Gredos, where we usually eat breakfast. The day there was a bit ugly so the mood in the control group were to shoot rockets, but of all the ways we decided to head toward the platform and wait aconticimientos.
When we got there, to a bloody cold and while we decided to do, it started snowing so much and with good reason, we returned to ride in the car and we head to the south of Avila.


As there were many opportunities for walking, it was suggested that we leave to the People of Mombeltrán and there trying to walk a little, so we got to the parking area, we the car and headed for Philip Wells, which this fall season with plenty of water and is the ideal place for a pleasant stroll .


Weightless in our battered back, began the march, accompanied throughout by a fine rain but with a pleasant temperature in the room .


Overcome Philip Wells, we headed to the Cliff of Snakes, a place that already knew then, in this same area, we made progress in the last year Paella .


We arrived at the fire lookout tower that is near the top of Amoclón and we go into the bush to the end ...


going to visit some area painted rocks in the shape of human faces, we do not know for sure which means neither that intention were painted .


View rocks from another angle .


As the march was not to many pictures of the group,


we had fun taking pictures of nature.


Around 14 hours we began the descent, and as we had not eaten since we left our bags in the car, we got to the car and drove to the village of Villarejo del Valle, where we will try take us some rations to feed the hungry .
