The lost refuge of Piedra de los PajarosA tough, mainly pathless ascent yesterday over Cuna (2292m) to the old cave/refuge at Piedra de los Pajaros (2550m). Then just for a change, we descended rough, pathless mountainside via the forest at Prado Abarca and then back along the dirt track to the cars at Mirador de Cañar. A tough day and the legs are feeling it today.

Scrambling Las Campanitas ridgeLas Campanitas ridge to Veleta. Probably not for those suffering from acute vertigo but certainly not as bad as it seems in this video. A superb day out with just the odd dose of adrenaline
Tajos de la Virgen RidgeIt had been quite a number of years since I had last walked the ridge between Veleta and the Refugio Elorrietta. It's known as the Tajos de la Virgen ridge and is a rough but easy walk with some sections of very mild scrambling involved
Las Campanitas ridge between Los Machos and VeletaThe ridge didn't let our expectations down. It is a magnificent scramble, probably Grade 3 in places. The highlight for me is the spiky pinnacle of Campario which soars above the small pass
Camp at Laguna Peñon NegroA short trip to a secretive camp, don't stay too long ... and leave. It sounds respectful and perfect! "No pain, no gain" so they say. Yesterday in the heat of the afternoon we made our way uphill to a remote lake, rarely visited, that we had never been to before. Laguna de Peñón Negro
Threading the RasponesThis was an interesting day. Interesting as it crossed some terrain I have never trodden before, threading the Raspones ridge.
Hard Going on Tozal de CartujoThis is one of my favourite mountaineering adventures but it had been some time, a heart attack and a pacemaker implant, since I had last attempted this magnificent route. I decided that I should attempt the route over two days, well two half days actually
Wet and Windy in the San Juan ValleyAnd whilst the rest of southern Spain baked in the June heat ... . near the Ermita San Francisco 2200m, Sierra Nevada we had rain, 50km winds and the odd roll of thunder.
