| selinunte01 | A wonderful day  Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2009 | |
| and the last day of out too short stay in the Pyrenee range. Did the normal route from Col de Tentes and Breche de Roland. Some nasty ice below the Breche and on the northside of Le Doigt, due to the recent snowfalls. Sun, excellent views and some vultures circling around the summit and certainly inspecting our summit meal .... | |

| A wonderful mountain day with views from Castillo de Acher to Midi de Bigorre and Peña Montañesa. I really enjoyed the climb, sharing it with Javi while Rafa and Maribel went for the nearby summits of the Pics de Gabietou (Gabietos). | |

| Rafa Bartolome | White mountains Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2008 | |
| The snowfalls of April and May this year have covered all the peaks with a lot of snow and the routes to peaks over 3000m are very long. The climb from Bujaruelo was extenuant (7 hours!) but the landscape was wonderfull. I love always this impressive place with the Cirque of Gavarnie, the Breche de Roland, the views of the summit of Taillon... it's my favourite place of the Pyrenees. | |

| DrJonnie | 1st time through the Breche Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2007 | |
| From the car park at Col du Tents, we traversed below Taillon before going up to the Sarradets refuge. From there to the Breche in about 40 minutes and another hour or so to El Taillon via the "dedo". Great weather and brilliant views, particularly of Vignemale. (Ken, Peter & Jonnie with Francois Bres) | |

| den dzjow | Route Climbed: Refugio Goriz-Brecha de Rolando Date Climbed: 12 September 2003 | |
| I wanted to climb Monte Perdido that day, but due to fresh snow I went for Taillon. Indeed, a very popular mountain, I think I met over 100 people on my way to the summit. Anyway, great views over Ordesa and on Monte Perdido. | ||
