2 and 3 October 2010. Distance: 39 km .
Accumulated Vertical Rise: 2,050 m.
Max: 3,355 m.
Height min: 1300 m.
Difficulty: difficult, but technically low.
Type: linear, we did night on the frozen lake 2990 m.
Hikers: David (lapi) and José Carlos.
We wanted to climb Monte Perdido, but in summer is impossible to reserve sleeping in the shelter of Goriz, which is where they usually spend the night, and among many reeds in the chupinazo of village festivals , La Almunia de Doña Godina, it occurs to us call to see if there are places for the weekend, also, that animated by the parties and alcohol, we set up a shop. When one goes from reeds, everything is nice and all they say yes, but at the moment of truth we were the usual ones, and a tent provided in the last minute, the lapi and I undertake on Saturday at 5 am this tour.
The lapi out at 5 in La Almunia, Zaragoza picks me up and went up the motorway to Huesca, we continue to Sabiñanigo, then the N-260 to Biescas, continue along the N-260 direction and climbed Torla Ordesa the meadow in summer can reach only Torla and then gets on the bus, but is now open. In conclusion, at 2:30 from Zaragoza you stand there.
Once there, you must first allocate weight, food (for percent), drink, shop, bags, mats, crampons (just in case, which does not employ in this time of year 
), clothing, .... Anyway, I weigh the bag around without food or drink and was over 14 kg, we estimate we would climb to about 18-19 kg each in the back. That was our hazing, recommend sleeping in the shelter and meals to eat there as possible, not to feel like a pack mule, too much slope to come up with so much weight, the backpack you nailed every step in the rock. The time it cost us, I have not seen fit to put it, there are people who in one day, at least, but usually go in about 4 hours to the shelter and then 3:30 are you most top are times the official guide of Monte Perdido, but depend on the climate, weight of the backpack, etc. I will chronologically relatare our steps including stops.
Well, before you start Contae note that we did the classic route to climb Monte Perdido Ordesa-Meadow Horsetail Refuge Goriz-Block-Field-Lake ice-Monte Perdido, the roof Ordesa and the highest limestone mountain in Europe, so many people go to climb it, summer is not technically difficult, removing a small climb without difficulty.

PRAIRIE OR 
DESA 1300 m.
We loaded the packs and the first light of day crossed the meadow and we enter the beautiful forest of beech trees to the right of Arazas River, Cotatuero ignore the detours and Pelay strip, the soon we will meet Arripas Waterfall, where we had a good drink, and noticed the weight and why we have hardly begun. The view is looking at imposing glad you saw Cutas (to our right, where the belt passes Pelay) and after a couple of hours appears Sosa circus in the back after crossing a large plain awaits the famous Cola de Caballo.
1750 m.
stopped to rest and contemplate, does not drop too much water, but that does not diminish the beauty, at this point you can continue on the plugs soda or continue on the GR-11 up the road from the mushrooms. I personally prefer the path, and that I do not trust much weight on the pegs and the lapi his eyes. This is the first large gap to overcome, at the top to the bottom Goriz shelter, we decided to stop rest and lunch, we have to removing weight of backpacks and 1 kg bread we bought starts wane with a tortilla and croquettes. After lunch we continued the march and Within minutes we arrived at the shelter Goriz.
11:50 GORIZ REFUGE 2200 m.
Although we know you're busy, ask if anything, anything yet quiet. We discussed the shelter up and we plan to camp a little higher because it is too soon and all that we take off, do not upload it tomorrow. The frozen lake seems a good place, we have water purification tablets, but as we are well of burros we got enough water for non potable. It leaves Goriz east-northeast, from here there are no poles, only milestones, must have clear direction, not up to another peak, but knowing oriented no danger of loss, it's all very trite and crowded, mostly by Basques, APA, is a typical greeting in these parts. Goriz just off the road climbs to overcome a rocky first barrier, which leads to a large flat, continue along the path to a very marked Great Wall (on our right), the path is getting steeper and these point the backpack weighs more and the legs and loose, overcome a small climb using hands and left the gorge we reached an area Goriz large block rock is the "field of blocks."
14:15 BLOCK COUNTRY 2750 m.
Refugees by blocks of air, although not strong, is felt, quietly eat again, take your backpack is even strange, the body goes forward without being able to stop it. We resume the march and exceeding the field of blocks, there are many milestones , but at the same point win. Passed a highlight of brownstone and came to a creek with a xPlan , overcame a rocky, where there is a chain for added security, and came to a colladito, from where we the frozen lake at our feet.
frozen lake
2990 15:30 m.
finally arrived, on the rise we had been told one of the many mountaineers who had crossed us, we find a windscreen stone shelter where we could sleep, the truth is that is a relief, because the wind blows all the time. From the frozen lake the trail turns right and looks great where to complete the summit, but that will be tomorrow.
Upon arrival we start up the tent, obviously we can not drive the stakes, it is all rock, so we managed and subject to both winds, as the stakes with stones, we made a few hands hehe. We finished our ride and we took a nap, we burst, we have over 16 km and 1700 m of altitude with a backpack. We enjoy the environment from the store, our private pool , the frozen lake on our right imposing Monte Perdido 3355 m. (And its famous spittoon) and Monte Perdido 3188m finger., to our left the cylinder Marboré m. 3325, in front of the store roll neck, a huge wall at 3074 m. and after we gorge views Goriz, with the tip Tobacor 2779 m 
. opposite. All in all a good place sleeping.
About 6 pm a snack, l temperature has dropped considerably by air and clouds that surround us, smoke from the mouth to breathe, but at 7 we get the last rays of sunlight warm the atmosphere somewhat. About 8 dinner and then to bed, we have forgotten the deck and not much else to do, try to relax and hopefully nothing happens to the store and the wind that shakes .
SUNDAY 3 OCTOBER 2010
frozen lake
2990 8:15 m.
is 7, we had a good night, I was in my bag of -22 ˚ no problem (thanks bf) and David and all the warm clothing that carries two pairs of socks and has not gone cold, the tent held up well the air, looked out, but still dark, dallying on the bags to the media, and breakfast at 8:15, and we collected the store and made backpacks. We decided to leave backpacks and go there only to cover the bag to do mo 
backpack, only a bit of water and sticks to the summit. As I said yesterday the road, turn right, just follow the well marked path, you can ice climbing, but we of crampons, we lose a lot of people yesterday and it looks easy step. We left the lake and the road climbs sharply, reached a large rock, using his hands well and is overcome low, once the ice at the quarry, to ascend a zigzag path of loose stones, you step and descend two, the wind blows strong in the funnel and when you bring the ass you up like a feather, if snow be careful, this top of the channel is tilted to the right , and the output is funnel-shaped vacuum, is the famous spittoon. The climb ends at a hill, the "shoulder" which leads to the summit after a short hill.
3355 9:05 m.
At the top we found a pile and much air, and the immense satisfaction of having arrived, a big hug and a "whore mother", we're up. Some pictures (as you can with the air) and enjoyed a few minutes from the stunning views, the N only there are clouds, but look at any other point is quite a spectacle , all we see is under our feet , is a unique feeling . It's cold, so do not take long to download.
2990 9:45 frozen lake m.
David declines faster than me, I prefer secure, and come down early Basque, one asks me where we come in. They thought they were the first to leave the shelter, telling you where We stayed and is now not be the first to crown haha. Collect backpacks and we start the descent, so we will return along the same route.
11:05 GORIZ REFUGE 2200 m.
On the descent has spread, We stopped to change clothes, we take off the coat, temperature rises as we go down, but the clouds grow dangerously, so we took a snack in Goriz , but do not stop too.
1750 m.
We are back in the val 
you, leave the hills and we can only retrace the path to the lawn. We took it philosophically, since David l and hurts ankle boots unaccustomed to, but prefers not to stop, as a good mule is, and I want to enjoy the sights and doing whatever photo. Happy with everything we have done, between autumn colors, conversations, Basque forward we and sunday, we ask, "if a long way to the waterfall " (could you say it, but after the belly we, I should have asked "if the car is far from" that's all we care now) we got the car.
1300 m.
is over, we got the car, threw the bags and eat with a laugh, stating that never again with Valley store Ordesa, which is very long and high for both weight and that not everyone can claim to have slept at 3,000 m in a summer tent in October, but that we branded a jerk.
Well little can be said of National Park Ordesa and Monte Perdido, is magnificent in every way and every way, for us it was a great experience and reeds will remember again and time.
Until next time ...
