The Pisapraos on top of La Ceja, we took the picture and got off because the visibility was zero and the cold pretty intense.
decided to go to this area of \u200b\u200bthe Sierra de Gredos, in Winter provides beautiful views of the snowy mountain (as long as this clear day) and is another of our classic routes in the winter.
The day started pretty cool but sunny and we thought all morning, and especially in the high zone, would be so, but nothing is further from reality .
started the march from the Platform of the Wicked, which was fairly clean of snow, so that the rise was not particularly hard, despite the elevation change of the mountain area .
As we climb, the road conditions are changing and it will appear the first areas to snow pretty hard .
so we decided to put on our crampons .
In the lower areas, visibility was very good, but were appearing at the top rather threatening clouds, a harbinger of what we expect then .
The snow completely covers all areas and the fog is making an appearance.
We fear that will not disappear throughout the day with which we can not enjoy the views, or progress .
We Calvitero and time to give us a little breathing
was going to last long, because the fog is very dense and does not allow us to easily follow the path, so we decided to go all out just for us to lose sight of .
a terrorist may seem completely covered to avoid being recognized, it is not, is in full swing Pisaprados mountaineering and girt with all accessories and apparel needed to pass a bad day in the mountains .
Another little respite gives us time
and allows us to see, though not entirely, the area of gaps in Trampal .
But the good thing is short and as we move towards the top of the eyebrow, fog returns to cover us. In this area, before the summit, we must bypassing a sloping areas with plenty of ice, which would make further progress .
We summit, take the typical photo of the group and began the descent fairly quickly, because the day is not for jokes or for talks or for any relaxations .
We make a short stop to regain strength and decided to take some fruit, all as good friends we eat a banana, which is a very complete food, but in every group there is always someone putting the discordant note that is passed through the lining of his ... the slogans that dictate others and fail to understand some basics or perhaps their intellect not give more.
This comes about because one of the group did not understand a word in the phrase "going to eat a banana (well, if I know that word does not understand) and we began to eat a sandwich but I think it did for us envy.
Pisapraos presenting an appearance with all the hair covered by ice, due to inclement time we had to endure .
The return on the highest part of the mountain was quite foggy, so we complicated the return, for the tracks and the road barely imagined.
So we had to lend a hand at all times of GPS and here we see a colleague doing practical guidance, which of course passed with remarkably high, it took us by offline.
As we descend the visibility is improving and we can see the platform on which we left the cars .
After arriving in cars, take off our boots and asearnos a bit, we started back to Candelario, but before we have this artificial source all of it frozen.
As we could not eat in the mountains, we arrived in Candelario seek a comfortable place in which to give a good account of our sandwiches with a rations and good cold beer,
and also took the opportunity to do some sightseeing in this town and discover its most typical corners.
Until next time.
