How beautiful was the route on Sunday.
Actually all are, but in principle and sheer ignorance of the area, I was not expecting much from this, and I have been a surprise.
addition, long time since we met many an excursion, we were 29. In our club (and I guess the others too ...) is a nucleus formed by the route we all Sundays, there are those who come from time to time, those who come from time to time and Finally, those who see only in meetings and meals, but no longer map out for various reasons ... So, it's always good to encourage more people. Today, of course, has been a partner Rompebotas we felt like a long time and who like Anthony and Mary, will join our group. Welcome, Michael.
Today has been a rutilla (because we have only made a total of 18.5 kms, yes, of continuous up and down) movement, ie, we enter and exit a site other another, but going back to people who have been the starting point: in this case, Vega buds.
In was originally designed as climbing the rock of the Kill (1668 m) and back through the Cueva de las Palomas, Carialfaquir down the valley and the village. But once again, and not cease to be ourselves, have made some changes on the fly, which incidentally have been a good idea. If all that is innovative ...
already on the way up the first hill of the day there have been two groups: one is up in the path he usually stops at the summit, around the Rock and entering through the back, and other we preferred to go for a "spliff" rocky and steep we have found a good site.
For this area there are many goats, which are also very accustomed to people and not afraid although we approach (the animals should be out by feet, because that puts too confidently shot poachers. In some areas of Sierra Nevada are so tame that even come close to give them something to eat, a disaster). They are very wild critters, very free and very dupes.
The climb, a little steep but beautiful, in some places almost on all fours we to go up ... great. Once all the way up we met the rest of the group.
The views from here, 360 degrees at our disposal "lengthy horizons, mountains, plains, rivers, damming of Cubillas ..... the day has been overcast and that has prevented were directamene and outrageous. Still, worthy of admiration. I think not ever get used many times to go to the mountain. When is too old and can not "pull my skin", says Juan Manuel, try to follow up on the sidewalks, and not lose my ability amazement.
Sierra Nevada, huge, white, ever so high and visible from where you go, now the clouds appeared ghostly. Pure magic.
The Hunchback Rock here is not too far away ... is that peak twisted in the center of the image. He was screaming that we would see, and of course ... we would not be disappointed ...!
Once at the top of the Penon de la Mata, Juan Manuel our colleague has come up to extend the route up to Humpback Rock, first, and the Cerro Majalijar then we saw in front ... as mentioned the possibility, we have encouraged more immediately and within minutes, and were 17 in the new group !
The architect of the expansion of the route and a great guide today, who knows the area like the palm of your hand. Our club has many members who know all of the mountains and know them by heart, is lucky to have people you can learn so much.
At the top of the Kill Rock are the remains of a Civil War trenches, which incidentally are well preserved, there was strong a group of Republican soldiers for a while. National forces could only stop them by force of bombing by aircraft.
So when we again divided into two groups, our 12 other partners, more formal, we have decided to follow the route planned. Almost immediately we have said goodbye and set in motion to give us time, because otherwise we could do at night around the corner.
Falling Rock the joint, apotheosis so rocky and steep, it was very nice, and then left us at the beginning of the Horcones Trail, which leads directly to the foot of the Hunchback.
the rods could not carry ... at times, even with the teeth we had to grab the rocks to not fall over, slowly but happy to have come down all integers, not ankles crushed and dislocated knees, a drop of more stimulating.
This is the Trail of Horcones; the merits, the Humpback Rock awaits impatiently.
After a climb that had a lot of material, we are all on the hill of the Hunchback, and very near the top and very satisfied with the turn taken by the day without imagine that, below, colleagues who took the original route ........
We have made this photo from below, were watching us from afar ... just the moment to make the two photos, above and this. What a coincidence!
A tironcillo more, and finally the summit of Humpback Rock. Preciosa, as spectacular as the same Penon de la Mata, with views also "up" to the circumstances, what I say ... the pictures speak for themselves.
Again, at the time of the group photo taken above, our compis below, you see they were watching how we were going up, we have returned to immortalize ... in the same time ...!
...... We are up there to see if to zoom in, zoom .....
Yes, here we go ... even the silhouette of the patient blight, which is now almost spent the day running away from me ...!
Padi Thanks to Angus and we have these photos as curious.
Any time of day is good to lay hand to buenazo of blight ...
From the Hunchback, the left is the rock of the Mata: whence we come, what is away ...?
Some of the women's section of the small group of lanzaos (Rosa and Cristina, where were ...?). All efforts are worthwhile when you walk, and you're in the field, and meet new sidewalks, and you see a beautiful place, and you manage to climb to the top of the hills, and watch a chain of mountains and think "I and I have been there and there and there to get ".... Although hard work, once you up the mountain always pays.
For the return, we come down the path of the Pilancones Carialfaquir into the valley, a dense pine forest by the stream running Fardes, very small but absolutely crystal clear water, and we have crossed many times because it will wind through the area. The projected rise to Majalijar have to wait for another time: today there was no time for more.
On the outskirts of the village have agreed with the rest of the group, coming back the other way ... in the bar we had the incidents of the day and have been terminated on Sunday.
Finally, today, and not vary, blight has been behind me from time to time. I think these photos will need to return the face and ask me to please leave him alone. It is so good that I can eat ... poor thing. I really like dogs, and it is he who is "paying", and rather expensive, too.
"Somebody remove this weight off for favooooooooor ...!"
entries are getting longer and longer because I put lots of pictures. It's so hard to choose between ... I recommend you go in to the club page to see all that do not fit here. And every time we have more photographers! I like to have all at least one picture, today's photojournalists have been Padi, Angus, Antonio, Vicente, Rosa, Pepe Montenegro, Pedro and Manuel.
Thanks to all you know why ....!
