| ojo | Ibones & Col de Coronas. Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2009 | |
| We camped at the Ibon Pequeño (one hour from the Ballibierna hut). Route very quiet (very little snow too) to the Col (which was fine, no prob). Once over the col we hit a pile of folk. The last section of glacier from the col was horribly grey, icey and thin and a real pain to cross. R hadn't put his crampons on properly and one came loose which added to the horribleness of that moment. It's a lesson worth learning: If you only use kit once or twice a year its essential to re-learn it each year. He wasn't the only one who was struggling. How many folk that day were using "hired" kit, for example? I saw a couple of guys being helped with their crampons. What we should do (even with the experienced) is like in climbing - check the harness/knots of your companion(s) before setting off. It's so easy in the heat of the moment (or in this case, the cold) to make a small error. There was a lunch party on the ledge before Mahoma. We got stuck-in before the 30-or-so French group had finished eating. Again we had the top virtually to ourselves. The way home was simply long and very long. We got down to the tent and debated whether to run for the bus, but knowing the problem we'd had a few weeks before (doing Russell) we decieded to take our time and stayed the night in a totally empty hut. Not nice - spookey with all sorts of weird noises outside. Didnt sleep a wink. And we'd run out of fuel for the camping stove, thanks to me, so it was tea - or soup. Not both. | ||

| ojo | Normal route from Renclusa in August. Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2008 | |
| The most amazing late-August day - hardly a soul around. We didn't set off in the dark as some. After a terrible night in the hut with a drunken guy throwing himself around the dormitory and general sleeplessness thanks to nerves and anticipation. From Renclusa we took (unwittingly) the route towards the False Portillon, and traversing along the crest actually missed the Portillon actual and went heading up towards Maladetta for a while. Luckily we met 4 tough guys who'd done just the same, but they'd realised their error much later before turning back. They did half an hour more with us and then gave up, exhasusted and went home. We found our way over onto the glacier side - and still had about an hour of boulders to get to it. Just over the Portillon we met a couple with a clip board! They wanted to ask us questions about our mountain experience & preparation. Suddenly the wild-mountain experience seemed a bit High Street. Weird! I nearly turned back from the Paso (and I'm the one with a bit of climbing experience) but it was Ricardo who just went for it. I remember getting off the exposed bit and running the final few metres, with the adrenalin. It was a long, long way down. R's second experience with crampons (and my 3rd). We took the (possibly) more normal way down again from the Portillon Superior. R has always been a slow down-hiller and it took longer than it might have. We arrived at the hut in twilight and asked for a second night (original plan had been to go down to the car the same night). I was too tired to eat but it was just amazing, the next morning, the adrenaline was still going and we were both bursting with energy... | ||

| tws | Normal route, Portillón Superior Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2008 | |
| Solo. Hot and sunny day. Started at sunrise, reached the summit around 10-11 o'clock. A Basque guy on the summit said he had been there many times and had never seen so much snow in June - it almost reached the Refugio de la Renclusa at 2140 metres, where I stayed for the night. | |

| Tried on the 31st of December 2009 and was unsuccessful. We went too far and took the fourth gap, which forced a brutal rappel. On the 2nd, conditions were excellent and we made it too the summit without incident. It was a really nice climb, with gorgeous views throughout. | |

| Beautiful day. We sleep in La Renclusa. The glacier it was in good conditions. The Paso de Mahoma also was in very good conditions. Few people to be Aneto. | |

| Boriss Andean | Route Climbed: Normal route from La Renclusa via Portillon Superior Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |
| Pirinees highest peak!.. Couldn't ask for better weather. We (Héloïse and I) started at 5:30 am from La Renclusa Hut. The snow was soft but the snowshoes made our climb easier at the beginning. Can't say the same about the traverse after Portillon Superior, we had to take our snowshoes off during the traverse to the glacier. No problems at Paso de Mahoma, nice scrambling up! I got to the top just after the clouds rolled in. Got back to the hut (to pick up my sleeping bag) via Aigualluts. Total climbing time: 12 hours RT. Beautiful mountain. | |

| DrJonnie | On top of the Pyrenees Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2005 | |
| Ken and I missed our first attempt due to going too high on the north side of the Portillon ridge. A few days later we made it to the Portillon Superior after coming up from La Besurta. We then crossed the glacier and climbed the Puente de Mahoma to the summit. Johnnie Update: Back again on 18th June 2010 with Peter. Reached the Mahoma at 10:40am but as it was covered with fresh snow and as we had no rope with us we decided to descend. | |

| John Climber | Guiding up to the top of the Pyrenees Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2007 | |
| Doctor Ulloa, almost finishing his project of the 17 tops (climbing the highest summits of each of the 17 Spanish Autonomous Communities / Regions) asked me to guide him to the top of the Pyrenees, the highest summit of Aragón region. Intersesting for being what it is: the roof of the range, and beautiful for having one of the last glaciers of Spain. Not very quiet weather on ascend but, surprisingly getting better in the afternoon. 'Paso de Mahoma' was an easy boulder-work at 3400 m. The people of Renclusa hut (Antonio and his team) were very friendly and helpful with us. August, 1st 2009...climbed again guiding a team of 4 men. Good conditions and clear day. July, 7th 2010: Climbed again guiding a groep of 3 people. Very good conditions of snow (from 2.500 meters all and all the way up to the top! except by the Portillon Superior). Clear weather and no wind. "Paso de Mahoma" was snow-free. June, 25th, 2011: climbed again (giding) over the normal route. Snow from the 2.500 m (except some small sections), and Paso de Mahoma free of snow. At least 250 climbers on this hot hot day. | |

| igneouscarl | Via Coronas lakes Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2007 | |
| Via coronas lakes with 2 friends on a misty day. Crampons would have been nice (or at least some sturdier boots) for the glacier, but the rope wasn't needed. I guess that if there was wind on the final ridge it would have been usefull. Views cleared on summit - perfect climbing. Whats up with the helicopter hovering around the summit? | |

| Angel Pobil | Estasen Couloir Date Climbed: Dec 28, 2006 | |
| Solo Climb via Estasen Couloir. I took the south approach via the Coronas lakes and bivouac at the Ibon medio de Coronas. Snow at the couloir was in perfect condition. Not a difficult route but the right gear should be used: a second ice axe helps a lot, as well as a helmet (at least for the ice chunks that fell down from time to time). | |

| kabernicola | Several routes | |
| My first high mountain when I was 17 in 1984. We climbed up by Coronas glacier. Then in 2004 I climbed the same route with my wife, incredible the lose of ice in this "glacier"!!!. I've done it by the north ridge too in solo during winter time, very hard. | |
