Ruta de ascenso natural a las cuevas

• Desequipada

German route description.

Approach: From the Camping Tajo Rodillo parking lot head into the park along the clearly defined trail with the Peñon Grande on your right hand side. Continue up until you can cross over to the large gully on the east side of the main peak. Scramble up scree until you see a small cave on the right side of the gully. Directly across the gully from the cave you will see a narrow dirt path that zig zags into the rocks. This is the beginning of the route.

Route: Start heading up the path of least resistance. Keep an eye out for signs of foot traffic and you'll be on the right path. Most of this route can be scrambled. There were only 2 or 3 short sections which required the rope. Keep heading up to the flag.

Descent: Once at the flag, continue along the summit ridge to the west for about 200-300 meters. The ridge will eventually peter out to a grassy saddle where you start heading straight down hill. Head to the short down climb at approximately: (36.7520, -5.3809). You may see the down climb path blocked by a wire gate, but just step over. Not sure why it's there as looking for another place to get down the cliff will turn into its own adventure. From there you will link back up with the main hiking trail to the parking lot.

Gear beta: light rack of small to medium cams and stoppers.

Listed here: "Easy Route, grade 3, summit book and abseil bolt 1987 installed by Rüdiger Steuer." No more specifications.

Continuation from Espallon del A. to a pass above; from last belay station continue throught easy terrain (slings around trees as protection) to belay station in the pass. Abseil possible to north side (from pass belay station go to the left to north side).

For meter`s collectors or if you are climbing to the top of towers or if ordinary abseiling points in ravine on the right side are bussy.

Topo.

En el lado de la montaña de la pared de la torre y rampa a la izquierda, luego la pared a la izquierda hasta el árbol de la cima (aseguramiento). A la izquierda del árbol y la cresta hasta la cima (libro de la cumbre). Descenso: volver al árbol y hacer rappel 35m.

At the mountain side of the tower wall and left ramp, later wall left to summit tree (belay). Left of the tree and ridge to the top (summit book). Descent: Climb back to the tree and abseil 35m.

Beginn in der Scharte oberhalb des Turmes. Wand und links ansteigende Rampe, dann Wand links zu großem Gipfelbaum (Stand). Links um die Äste des Baumes herum und am Grat zG. Buch vorhanden. Abstieg: Abklettern bis zum Gipfelbaum und daran 35m abseilen.

First easy (1) then harder (3).

in the north side

Scramble around the base (low tide!) to the north ocean side. The 1. pitch is the obvious gully, the rock is okay, belay at the little gate, you will also find an old rotten bolt and biner. Pitch 2 to the summit is very loose, but easy. At the top not much solid rock, for abseiling prepare some old rope pieces to build a 5m rope sling around blocks.

Adventure! Only for people valueing the summit.

Very loose rock, no trad placements too. No solo! Think first about how to come down. Belay from the other side of the arete and rappel down this style, no fixed point on top.

trad/toprope

On the ocean side follow the white better rock, then loose up. Think first how to come back, climbing down is to dangerous. fix a rope and rappe down the other side.

El ascenso comienza en el mirador del Pico de las Nieves, en el centro geográfico de la isla, justo debajo de la zona militar. Desde aquí subimos unas pequeñas escaleras a la izquierda que nos llevarán a un pequeño rellano. Seguimos por el borde, y tras una pequeña subida nos situamos en la base de la aguja. La subida es por el borde opuesto, por lo que seguiremos una pequeña plataforma, muy suspendida sobre el vacío. Hay algún seguro intermedio, que nos invita a utilizar la cuerda, aunque es muy fácil. Pasamos un bloque con un gran agujero y seguimos la plataforma. Una pequeña subida nos sitúa en un gran saliente que da paso a la vertiente opuesta, ya través de una arista/diedro/chimenea accedemos a la cresta final.

Una delicada desescalada nos sitúa en la instalación de rápel, de unos 30 metros de largo, con mucho ambiente, y volado en algunos puntos. El rápel nos deja en el punto de partida. La misma arista nos deja en el Pico de las Nieves. Descripción e imágenes.

The ascent begins at the Pico de las Nieves viewpoint, in the geographical center of the island, just below the military zone. From here we go up some small stairs to the left that will take us to a small landing. We continue along the edge, and after a small climb we place ourselves at the base of the needle. The ascent is on the opposite edge, so we will follow a small platform, very hanging over the void. There is some intermediate insurance, which invites us to use the rope, although it is very easy. We pass a block with a big hole and follow the platform. A small climb places us on a large ledge that gives way to the opposite slope, and through an edge/dihedral/chimney we access the final crest.

A delicate declimbing places us in the rappel installation, about 30 meters long, with a lot of atmosphere, and flown at some points. The rappel leaves us at the starting point. The same ridge leaves us at Pico de las Nieves. Description and pictures.

Vía SIN CHAPAS, se trata de una reunión instalada al comienzo de "Sin nombre (1)" que puede servir para que los novatos practiquen reuniones. Una vez hecha la reunión se puede tirar la cuerda hacia abajo de la repisa y asegurar desde abajo ya con la cuerda pasada (para practicar aseguramiento de segundo) y escalar unos 4m. hasta volver a la reunión.

At the highest point short wall with 1 bolt. Anchors of other routes on the top.
