Alcazaba (3,366m) N face (via NE ridge)
June 29th, 2008 Posted in Alcazaba, Grade DWinter - D
1st Ascent - February 1956 Zapata/Olmedo
Approach via Puntal de Vacares (1hr) or via Siete Lagunas (1hr). Where the ridge abuts against the main north face of the mountain, take a slanting line rightwards onto the north west face before heading directly up the first main break. This is mixed ground with passages of IV. Keep up until above the level of the Tajos de Goteron and then move back left onto the true NE ridge of Alcazaba, which is followed to the summit.
Descent easiest to Siete Lagunas and down to Trevelez. Â
