Route Description

 
 

From the Col of Urkiaga this one begins in direction a track closed by a chain. We will enter a nice forest of beeches that is mending the hillside of the mountain.
We will come to newly Col (25min) in a hill, we must cross a door in the metallic fence. Now we follow towards the right still for the track in a forest of firs and beeches.
In the third Col it finishes the track close to a former bunker. Little later we will go out of the forest and after passing the wire fence will view the slender summit of the mount Adi to the right (45min).
For the very strong ramp of grass we will come to the summit in which there is a geodesic vertex and will enjoy of the most ample view of this mount (1h25min).

In the descent is a good option follow from the last col to front to the neigbor Izterbegi (1027m) (40min).

Essential Gear

No technical requeriments.
In winter the final ramp required crampons and ice-axe a lot of days.
