| Diego Sahagún | Long ascent, quick descent  Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009 | |
| Nadie and me ascended La Alcazaba from Hoya del Portillo following the normal route by Laguna Hondera and Loma de la Alcazaba. After having ascended during 7h 25min we decided to take a shortcut below Peñón del Globo Occidental (3286 m). So we reached Alto del Chorrillo half an hour before Junta de Andalucia's bus took us to Hoya del Portillo. From there we drove back to Capileira. We enjoyed a very good day though it was snowy some days before and there were still snow patches on the mountains. Total time: 10h 50min. | |

| kabernicola | North Gully. IV-3+. 400 m | |
| magnific alpine route. Just two harder pitches. The rest of the route is snow-couloir-type. Easy. We bivy at the base of the wall. a bit unconfortable. To come back to our camp we descended to the east and rapelled twice to reach a slope that took us back to our camp. | |

| Rafa Bartolome | Across Mulhacen Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2007 | |
| We climbed from refugio de Poqueira following the ravine of river mulhacen to Col de Mosca. We climbed the nice Puntal de la Caldera (3220m), beautifull ridge of grade I+, and we returned to Mulhacen to walk the west slopes to the summit. We descended across the SE slope to Siete lagunas to turn to get the entry to the route of Alcazaba from south. We leaved the route in a col turning to west to Peñón del Globo (3288m) and the ridge to Puntal de la Cornisa (3313m), reaching Alcazaba across the easy west ridge (grade I). We returned to siete lagunas to reach the south col of Mulhacen after a good path, descending to refugio de Poqueira in a total traverse of 10 hours and half. Spectacullar day with perfect views! | |

| Superb hiking weekend with Jon Climber and my first exeperience of winter mountaineering at altitude. Good snow conditions, wonderful weather and a well deserved summit. Climbed again July 2006- very different terrain, very barren. | |

| John Climber | Route Climbed: Normal-South Slope via Loma Culo de Perro Date Climbed: 8 december 2005 | |
| I made it alone from the mountain hut of Poqueira. Firstly up to the Loma del Mulhacén and Loma del Tanto. It is a long stony desert, with many ups and downs. I went out of the path accidentally and finished at the Laguna del Peñon Negro (it was dry). After almost three hours I reached the incredible "Cañada de las Siete Lagunas". The small lakes were frozen. I quickly crossed it and went up the Loma Culo de Perro, the SE slope of La Alcazaba. I passed under the neighbour summits (leaving them to the left), crossed the snowed valley and took the final south slope to the top. Exactly 4 hours to go. Trip back the same route in 3,45 hours. Perfect weather. Not too much and not everywhere snow, and in excellent condition. Almost no wind and good temperature. Winter ascend with the SP member Igneouscarl on 22nd January 2006. Normal route from Siete Lagunas (camped there) with perfect weather (after a windy night), and good snow conditions (40 cm aprox.). Taken the Loma de la Alcazaba for the final approach to the summit (instead of the normal traverse around the valley). Congratulations Igneouscarl !! | |
