Ascent Almanzor

Hello!
As you have been already in the mountain, i would like to ask if you think its possible to ascent almanzor, from plataforma to the summit and descent back to plataforma in one day.

Thanks,
Miguel

Re: Ascent Almanzor

Yep, it's possible but in Winter it could be risky at any of its portillas and the final section (vertical mixed terrain). If you go there in Autumn or Winter you'll need to start very early in the morning because the days are short. By the way. Do you speak Spanish?

Re: Ascent Almanzor

In February the weather could change quickly, even you could have a bad weather or good weather. I'd recommend you to attempt Almanzor in late February or March. Perhaps the snow would be soft in many sections, though it will be much. But do you have experience on Winter climbing?
