Peña Ubiña summit
Started from Tuiza de Arriba under intense fog and rain, as we were arriving to Meicin hut started to snow and never stoped for three days. Next morning, as we got out from the hut with fresh snow until our knees and later until our waist!! Sometimes we felt some intense wind gusts. We summited with the help of the gps to know the track, took a picture and went down. Great challenge under thoose weather conditions! Excellent mountain!! And funny times at the hut!

Classical North Cou
Climbed the classical north couloir. Nice and cold day, just before the storm. The snow was hard, but soft in some of the parts of the coulir.

Beautiful peak
Long time ago I try to make a trip to this impresive and beautiful peak and at last I climbed!. We climbed from Torrebarrio after a recent snowfall. The channel of access to the ridge was covered by snow trasformed in a perfect coulouir of 30º in good conditions (with use of crampons and ice-axe). Very cold day in the summit but wonderfull views.

Great day, but hard too.
Snow on perfect conditions, not me... but I could get the summit and take nice photos.
Route Climbed: Classical route Date Climbed: 8th September 2005
I withdrew from a point slightly above collado del Ronzón. It was getting cloudy in the upper parts of Ubiña and I was on my own, therefore I chose safety instead of the summit. Will get back some day or other, nevertheless

Route Climbed: Classical route from Torrebarrio Date Climbed: 21 September 2003Good temperature and good conditions. Maybe it was a bit cloudy so the pictures weren´t perfect :-)
The bad thing was a girl who I climb Yordas peak with had an accident in Picos de Europa and she was killed.
