★★ Espolón del Adamelo 6a

• History A0 a Vista
• Topo EntreRimayas

M10. 10 cintas y bagas. Recomendada como primera vía a los mallos grandes. Gran clásica. Las mayores dificultades concentran en las dos panzas del segundo largo. Desde el final de la vía atravesar a la derecha hacia los rápeles de bajada, o continuar recto por una canal herbosa hasta el collado del Torreón (III/IV). Descenso por los rápeles del Pisón.

It should not be recommended as a "starter". There are several nicer and more balanced routes in Riglos. In the old guidebook it was rated V+, in the new 6a, but still hard in grade. Power, courage and multipitch climbing experience recommended - NOT for sport/single pitch 6a climbers! Also leaders should take a second climber with good skills and abilities. Try to find something shorter and 1-2 days of experience on Riglos before ascending this route will help, or while hanging on the rope remember this description (every day several desperate people hang on this route). The grad of pitches could be: 5, 6a(+), 4+, 5+, 5, 4+, 3 at present. Also no more than 8 quickdraws you ll use (take alpine quickdraws and slings, do not miss the inscriptions "Ad" or "Es. Ad" in the upper wall, otherwise you can climb 6b or 6c at once ;-) or get into broken terrain. The route direction is little another than in history. After 7th pitch you can use via ferrata on right to abseil point or you can continue up 60+m in easy terrain (II-III) and abseil to the north side. 70m single or 60m half ropes needed!

• La piedra caliza es blanda - por favor, limpie tus zapatos de la suciedad con el fin de evitar asideros y pasos pulidos.
• No instale top-rope directamente a través de anclaje o anillos - usa tu propio material en su lugar.
• Limpia las marcas de tiza con un cepillo.
• No dejes papel higiénico.
• Recoge la basura - también las colillas de cigarrillos.
• Aparcar con consideración (los tractores deben poder pasar también el fin de semana).

• The limestone is soft – please clean your shoes from dirt in order to avoid polished handholds and steps.
• Don't toprope directly through anchors or bolts – use your own material instead.
• Clean chalk and tickmarks with a brush.
• Don't leave toilet paper.
• Pick up rubbish - also cigarette butts.
• Park considerately (tractors should be able to pass also at the weekend).
