| After close to 5 hours of climbing from Respumoso Hut, my brother Gabi and I, together with our guide Jonas reached successfully summit at around 12h30. We took it easy, enjoying all the climbing and having a lot of fun with the ropes in the "Brecha Latour" both in the ascent and in the rappels/ abseils. Weather was excellent but we missed the "white touch" (few snow pockets). At around 19h30 we arrived in the Parking of La Sarra reservoir and proceeded for celebrations in Sallent de Gallego town. Excellent experience all in all ! | |

| Did not make it to the top, maybe too hard a day for me, but nevertheless an unforgettable one. Shall get back next season, as Balaitús has turned from an impossible dream to a really feasible climb. I will dream of it for the next ten months or so. | |

| A hard and happy day. At last in the summit of Balaitous. I love this impressive mountain and the route of Lakes of Arriel is ever precious (but long, 6 hours to summit). Hard and cold wind in great part of the route but spectacular views in all the way. Unfortunately my friends could not come with me to the top due to the wind, the fog and the long effort. The last section I should climb lonely and to find the chimney of exit to the summit it was difficult. I know that undoubtedly I will return other times to this mountain but the first time it was really exciting. | |

| This climb was schedule too late in the season to be successfull. It was still a beautiful climb and very testing glacier climb. We gave up in the final stages, we were around a 100 metres from the top but could not get any closer because the climb was rough and dangerous in this part. Some nasty black clouds had been hovering all day. They eventually cleared later around 5pm. I think I will post a trip report later. | |

| It was only a nice hike with my parents reaching Llano Cheto, just after El Paso del Onso. Really it's a beautiful area for climbing. | |
