"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Normal via Refugio de ArmeñaI simply adore this peak! Doing it was something else. I'd seen its distinctive form from many a summit over the months before. It's beautiful from a distance and close up.
We set off early - just us. A small group had set off earlier and only 2 of the 4 completed. We didnt encounter any snow until the first col. The "trepada" was okay. The second "trepada" to gain the final col was a bit more complicated, but okay if you find the best place to clamber up (we looked too soon - nearer to the col seemed easier). The summit views were breathtaking. I didn't wanna go home!
