In order to ascend to " greatest ", he is preferable to encamp the day previous and to at daybreak initiate the ascent until the refuge of the Renclusa or salary spendt the night in him...
Soon after leaving the refuge we have two options, to turn aside to us in the direction of the crest of the Portillones (towards the north) or to follow by the rocky terrain (nornoreste) until the foot of the Superior, itinerary but common Portillón. A shutdown in this place is recommended, we will see one of but the impressive images of the Pyrenean one, the Glacier of the Aneto crowned by he himself. Altogether we used two hours.
A small one desgrimpada leaves us in the beginning of the glacier (according to seasons with but or less snow). That it does not pretend difficulty does not have to make to go down the guard to us, the atmosfericos ice, fog or any other accident can do bad a last one to us. I recommend crampones and piolet and, according to the experience, going encordados.
Without a doubt that the hundreds of mountain which that way they happen, will have left innumerable plans in the ice, you follow the one that but you of confidence and without leaving it, according to in which times we can be with seracs (cracks in the ice) hidden by snowed recent; you think that they have given but of a scare.
Crossing the glacier we arrived at the feet of the Crest of Means, crowned by the tips of Enmedio, Astorg, of Means, Coronas and Tuca of the Col Crowns. In that Col we make a shutdown to recover spirits and to attack the nevero that takes to us until the secondary tip, Oliveras End Sands (3,298 ms.) where crampones, until arriving at the naked rock, always is essential. Minutes but and we give with the pretop in which it is necessary to request number to know when it is called on to you to cross the Passage of Mahoma (to my I touch the 132). There is much Literature on " the terrible passage of Mahoma ", but without a doubt which if you do not pay attention to the enormous precipices that you have to each side nor in it narrows it that it is the rock by where is had to happen, nor in if this frost or no, nor in if we took cord or... you do not have any problem
Before a crucecita in memory of a deceased could be found at the end of the step, which you grasped with force for impulsarte the final section, but seems to be that it has disappeared of as much that they have gotten to take hold itself to her as if its life depended on it.
Total 5 hours. For the reduction... Then Mahoma and to return again I prefer to turn aside themselves in northeastern direction towards Aiguallut by the torrent of Barrancs and to arrive at forao from Aiguallut with the impressive Vista from the Aneto of the bottom and the drain where the waters of the river disappear, to appear again in the Val you would d'Aran. I really recommend the return to you by this place.
