Tajos de la Virgen ridge (3,160m)

June 28th, 2008 Posted in Grade PD, Veleta

Winter - PD/AD Mixed
1st Ascent - Unknown

Veleta approachFollow the access route to Los Posiciones and thence to the Collado de Cariguela (3hrs, hut). Ridge is similar but shorter than the Aonach Eagach in Scotland. A mixed route, always. Can be quite hard under deep powder snow. Follow the ridge over 2 crux sections to the Elorietta bivouac hut.
