weekend with good weather forecast for Friday night and Saturday morning so we mobilize people to get closer to peaks with the intention of ascending Castil Peña, a peak with the Silvia and I have an outstanding bill for a couple of years.
of Arrigorriaga to Sotres and track up there for Pandebano. Parked cars in the small parking there at the end of the track and prepare dinner.
After dinner everyone is looking to find life un lugar medianamente comodo y venga, que hoy el dormir aqui va a ser como el fumar en los bares....a la puta calle.
Dormir en el Hotel de las Estrellas te permite el lujo de ver amanecer desde dentro de tu saco.
Pero hay que empezar a mover los traseros y a ponerse en marcha que la meteo dice que solo aguantara por la mañana.
Un mapa de la ruta (pinchar sobre la imagen para ampliar):
Abandonamos la pista y tomamos el sendero (poste señalizador) que nos conducira hasta el collado de Pandebano.
El Collado in a place where you have to stop a couple of minutes but did not want: the bulk of the Naranjo de Bulnes peeps (left) and you have to stop to admire this impressive wall. To the right of Urriello Neveron.
leave the hill in the path that would lead us to the refuge Juan Delgado Ubeda, located at the foot of Orange, in the Vega de Urriello, and turn left to go to the base of the channel the Monas (moniker of the place ...).
I marked in yellow the way that we in the ascent and descent red
To the left Neveron of Urriello, on the right foot of Athos and their huts from the fold of the Ténéré.
suffering a rise in full of my bad "starts" the day but I will not complain because before my Terese is a trancazo that had left me in the sack.
Accessing the middle of the channel.
Already we gain altitude, down there the track stands up to Pandebano.
already entered the area where the snow appears.
Upon exiting the canal access a more lying area known as the monkeys Majada which protrude from the snow the remains of ancient stone huts. We can also distinguish right from here in order of the day: the top of the left is Castil Peña.
Luis always head opening track.
Good views of the East Massif: The Pica of Jierru, the top of the Morra and right Lechugales Prao Cortes.
Panoramica on the East or Andara Massif.
Walking through the hills that we are on our way to Cabezo Tortorios.
There 's the final shovel of Peña Castil: 400 meters cueston.
the seawall of Neveron impressive background of Urriello.
The writer at the top of Cabezo Tortorios (2,146 m) accompanied by Peña Castil and Naranjo de Bulnes ... the balcony is not bad eh?.
opened and enjoyed a few beers at the top and then descend to the pass that will allow us access to the end of the ascension.
Nieto Brothers: One .... happy .. the otroooo
proceed to step and there we met with a number of ski touring group that also target Castil Peña.
Going down the hill (Horcada of Camburero).
And from here ... the law.
Luis is the head doing all the work of opening track and even offer to give me relief when I said that's not going well (a real machine our "animal"). The rest of the group continues apace.
Among the skiers have everything but most of it seems to be good "machines" and I would like to have my skis that pace with this cueston.
Sometimes the fog is removed and allows us to see the end.
The last part is steep enough (without being anything special.)
Latest "turns maria" in the fog for the tables.
We got to the end and friend Luis has decided not to go to the colladito where skiers are, that shoots straight and clear ... about 45 degree slope and go right ...
Reaching the summit we looked back.
Cima de Peña Castil: a beauty of mountains with spectacular views.
Luis N., Luis A, Javi, Terese, Silvia, Alberto ... and the essential bottle of champagne.
share a few minutes, pictures and shots of champagne to the tables as we look with envy your skis. Rachel, an active participant in several forums mountain that recognize at the top (greetings), I said that gives the club a little down ... never had so wanted to have a 41 and make it for him down the skis to the hill.
Well, this time playing it touches so "pa under a leg."
In some areas we sink to the knee resulting lowering somewhat uncomfortable.
But hey, we'll fix it fast ...
... with a good ham, a smart and a good rioja balcony (the rush to kill).
undo all gone in the morning.
And seize the snowfields of the Canal of the monkeys to the end, but the fog sometimes makes it difficult to descend.
Finally we will give the Collado de Pandebano, now shrouded in mist.
Going down the track.
Just as we put foot in it begins to fall a downpour forced us to change clothes inside the cars cabin plan of the Marx Brothers, but no rain or fog may obscure the satisfaction of this beautiful day mountain we have shared in a gang.
