Andres Paez and I attempted the route in a rather cloudy and warm day. We climbed the normal route, up to some 30 meters, up to the first rappel station, with some difficulty due to humidity and water on the route, however the friction was very good. We had luck; we were in the abseiling station when a very strong hale and ice storm hit us so we had to escape the route. Since the normal route goes on a kind of gully with a snow ramp on top, we had lots of hale coming from the top down to us while descending! 15 centimeters in 40 minutes! The route was completely covered with hale and ice after the storm….sad.

Buen clima en febreroAunque ya se presagia el invierno en esta epoca, todavia es posible tener dias muy despejados perfectos para la escalada de este tipo de montañas.
