<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Approach &#8211; Either (a) start from the Albergues at Hoya del Moro (2,500m). Climb steadily north past the statue to the Virgen de las Nieves to the Balcon del Veleta (1½hrs) or (b) pay for a lift pass and take the Gondola and chair to below the Balcon del Veleta and walk from there (½hr). From here make short descent onto a traversing path (Veredon Superior) that descends into the Corral de Veleta.</p>
<p>Climb &#8211; As you approach down the Veredon Superior, this climb is situated on the walls to the right. The climb starts with 60 metres of vertical rock, followed by a 30 metre horizontal passage left to a small crack. Continue up 15 metres until a blank wall is met (V Sup). Mount the wall by whatever means you can and then move rightwards missing the difficult overhangs above. Climb the final walls to the top.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Rock Climb &#8211; ED (numerous V, VI and A2)</strong><br />
1st Ascent &#8211; </span>26 July 1967 Carlos Vasquez Canas/Rafael Pinilla Mesa/Jose Ruiz Rodriguez</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guidebook-sierra-nevada.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/veleta-approach.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-176" src="http://www.guidebook-sierra-nevada.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/veleta-approach.jpg?w=201" alt="Veleta approach" width="201" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Approach &#8211; Either (a) start from the Albergues at Hoya del Moro (2,500m). Climb steadily north past the statue to the Virgen de las Nieves to the Balcon del Veleta (1½hrs) or (b) pay for a lift pass and take the Gondola and chair to below the Balcon del Veleta and walk from there (½hr). From here make short descent onto a traversing path (Veredon Superior) that descends into the Corral de Veleta.</p>
<p>Climb &#8211; Start the climb on a wall with very delicate holds. This reaches a more vertical wall with scarce holds (V). The next 60 metres of free climbing are at V Sup at the end of which are overhanging walls. At the end of this section a 6 metre pendulum needs to be made leftwards into a small couloir before continuing the climb. At the end of the couloir large overhangs bar progress. A horizontal passage of 6 metres leads to another section, which is climbed, aided (A2) for another 6 metres.</p>

From here make short descent onto a traversing path (Veredon Superior) that descends into the Corral de Veleta.</p>
<p>Climb &#8211; The climb consists of 6 steep pitches between IV and V grade. After the 2nd pitch there is a traverse to the right for 20 metres. On the 6th pitch you meet a small overhang (V), which continues with an airy horizontal traverse to the right. This pitch climbs a big inclined crack rightwards until the ridgeline is met.<br />
