Duoderm Patch Hurting

Midi d'Ossau 2884 m. Subida al

This day was not ours, we try to climb a mountain with little apparent difficulty in time it becomes (in my point of view) in a little complicated due to mixed ground ice / snow. If we add that we started quite late the rise and that one group had no experience of climbing (and therefore had to make sure) because in the end we could only complete two of the three fireplaces that have this beautiful track, but this does not detract from the beautiful, which is rising and how well we had, (algunos. .... hehehehe) quite an experience. Leaving

in the late evening of Torrevieja and Valencia go through to pick two artists and follow the road, I remember we did pull the road or even at night we reached the parking lot of Anéou already Pyrenees to start very early the kicked.


After a little warm clothes and finish assembling the backpacks we set up the first hill.


At the top we started to see the first frost.









And in a blink of an eye largooooooo we can see that great colossus.

Once we caught up we are going to go down to approach the Pombie shelter located to 2032 meters.



fresquillo As it appears to do, lol we stop at the shelter to take a bite and be able to face the final climb towards the Col de Souzón.
After the shelter have to go through a rocky area in which you and I picking up on the hill, turn left by the mound / ridge that lets you at the base of the climb.









In the same ridge you can see the difference from one side of the mountain and the other, it really is funny change in the landscape.

seems that our spiritual guide and travel lover has a small setback and puts the ankle like a jug, but he with the spirit of sacrifice that characterizes it is applied bandage and continued the way, I have to say I was surprised porque el tobillo estaba chungo, chungo.
El escalador termina de aplicarse sus vendajes y podemos proseguir el camino, entrando en una nueva dimensión con unas vistas difíciles de mejorar.

Y por fin en la base, nos colocamos algunas cosillas para realizar la trepada pero antes de seguir con el relato me veo en la obligación de poner algunas fotos que no tienen desperdicio, jejejejeje, menuda tropa estamos hechos. jejeje.




With helmets and other harness in place, start with the first chimney (very important to notions of escalation because although the climb is not much level you have to control a little and know how to ride rappelling is therefore advisable to wear a helmet, harness, rappel rope and equipment).


First long stop to secure and continue with the second.



But that was not the day that we did summit, the clouds were becoming lower and it was time that we did not see anything, we got to the last wall of the second fire and even climb, but we realized that was not the thing to follow, the Valencia team for the third attempt to throw fire but the truth is were not visibility was quite difficult to see the path to follow.




The boys did not see anything of course, only have to look at time as Hill.




It assemble both abseiling and we shot before they put the worst thing.




Our return to the car was more fun because we knew what to expect (hot meals and a bed to rest) for the next day to head to the Refuge Respumoso to face new challenges. A shame not to have done the mountain top but yes, we can only try again another time.
