Route Description
Altitude Gain: 400m
Duration: 1h
Trailhead: Degollada del Asserador (on GC60) west of Ayacata
Another beautiful tour leading through the climbing rocks near Montana del Huomo and Montana del Asserador. The most striking views are at the beginning of this tour near Degollada del Asserador where you can admire the vertical walls falling downwards to GC60 (see pictures).
The tour is rather easy: you leave the degollada by climbing a broad trail upwards. You encounter a tiny water reservoir, beside it the needle of Roque Elba and Riscos del Laurel in which some very difficult climbing routes (7 upwards) can be found. Our trail leads us through a flat valley and finally ascends to Tablon del Nublo. You can either ascend directly from the west or take one half of the round tour and ascend from the east.
