How To Hang A Puzzle Without A Frame

San Jorge, Pico Boron. Circular

Palomo-Mallo Canal San Jorge, Pico Boron. Verticality provided by the pins. 31-12-2010.

Ligüerri Mallos, whose highest peak is the Pico San Jorge, and Mall of Mitra. Vadiello-Huesca.

As the sky looked like it would be covered by Teruel and the Pyrenees, we chose to go to Vadiello (Sierra de Guara, Huesca). He had left open on another occasion the San Jorge Mallo (No strings pass make that gamble on a mountain of loose rock and vertical like this). The most interesting option is going to approach the Channel Palomo. The old road ferrata has been retrofitted with lifeline, greatly facilitating the ascension.

Start the Palomo ferrata (freely III °).

Palomo Channel Via Ferrata.

Progress this beautiful gorge of conglomerate, is slower than at other times to go with Jose Luis that this little seasoned in the ferrate (1'30h compared to 40 min. that I usually costs), the good thing is that I take to take pictures. The route is without doubt one of the most difficult ferrata Spain, but if you climb high and you know, it's a nice walk. The first section to enter the canal, we do free III °, then the pins are far apart, forcing the move effectively. (The cable is to make sure not to hold on! But nothing, JL does not make me any attention. .) Via ferrata D + (With flow MD-).

Barranco well excavate conglomerate.

Once on the trail down, we are attentive to link to something lost trail which goes up to find the normal path to Pico Boron and St George's Mall, which comes from the reservoir. Once in a ridge engaging with the path that makes the flanking right, having a spectacular view of San Jorge mallets and the Pure. We are entering a channel with vegetation and several ribs which will climb.

Top Channel. Near the turnoff to Mallo S Jorge

Cima del Mallo, behind the Pyrenees-Fragineto-Tozal de Guara.

Once that channel, make another right flank in search of another channel, longest and most difficult than the other. F +. By going under the Ligüerri Mallos are exposed to falling rocks, the hull needed for the via ferrata is of more (Yeah, I know that gives heat, but fell tiny bowling that day). After rising, rose a little and went to a more flat area, watching the crest of the mallets of lances in front of us, and right peaks of Ligüerri Mallos. A trail goes to the right and around a first highlight. Across a ridge brings us to the main peak is the Pico de San Jorge . Agree to a "gap" from the normal route leaving the mall. Two vultures perch on the peak next Will they want something us?

A first handrail goes north along the west wall of St George's Mall. Then a horizontal ledge with two trees, leads each high again towards the pins. Then comes a shoulder of 3 meters with two pins. Sign in to another ledge with a short, rusty railings (Mother to laugh with the court begins to be). Then one step above with two pins, to another ledge where it leaves the main strip of pegs, is hung on a wall abismoooo of about 7 m fair but well-placed pins. Since we rope and material, we we ensure that we can. We went to a single area, but very hung and loose rock, which leads us with great respect to the top of Pico San Jorge . 1149m, PD exposed. I think shameful that when the lifeline installed in the Channel Palomo, not used to equip this way, since the excess cable Canal and this is the logical complement to that itinerary. But Prames so.

last section, the courtyard is clear.

had to lose brought strings of "30" and 44m. On the west side there is a facility rappel (Burin upstream access not required). This along the border, in an area where water was oozing (Carry spare belts.) I start to rappel 10 meters and see the string "30" m not reach the ground (after measuring it at home were 26m), risión risión (I was convinced he had purchased 30m of rope in the Decathlon. I do not know with measuring the length of some strings, it may be that they are men and for them a foot is 12 cm). As I do not want to wait on a shelf, hung like a booger, to the Guardia Civil came to me from my mistake, I chose to rise again. I hold a good catch and I'll take it in hand (Fiestaaa, sure that the vultures are smiling). I climb a little and released another rock, that laughter is laughter, whenever I go to church (The vultures should be salivating, I know but do not look. Then you are going to stay with the desire, vermin). Finally got with hard work and dedication. In short two 30m ropes for rappelling .

Rapel failed the first handrail (Gap). Photo JL.

On the way down for the pin again, we roped up and I got ribbons at all, lest it be that plunges me and my beloved wife would be angry with me for not going out to dinner with in-laws. Secured to a plug-climbing knots of lark, and at last went hungry vultures, animals. Needless to say, many people have raised the mesh without much history, and material security, but there are peaks that do not deserve risks. They are 30-m level to the summit, 12 of them "equipped."

last part of the route and drop option.

We return to the main trail and continue up to the bare ridge, which are the tops of the lances Mallos of 1245 and 1243 meters. F. From them descends a ridge to the peak Boron. Before coming to the hill of Ligüerri, a projection forces us to deviate to the right. to decrease by one step easier. Go back to the ridge and without much problem reaches 1327m Pico Boron. F. The aerial views are to the Valley and the spectacular Guatizalema Vadiello environment (Mallos and Guara Tozal dominating).

The descent from the Boron can be done by the ascent route, or more boldly from the Ligüerri 1135m hill, along a little path that descends straight trite the reservoir. This direct route down terrain and vegetation pedrizas dress, flanking the middle east, looking for another channel, being aware of the milestones, we are down to the reservoir without notable difficulties if we do not lose track. So seeing the sights completed mesh as Mitra, the Egg, Elephant, etc ...

Today was another route montesparatodos : mountaineers can climb the Boron, from the parking lot before the diversion (Tunnel) to the dam. 750m altitude. Inicio.2 Information panel to '15 hours, 700m drop. The most experienced ferrata can complement Channel Palomo. D + (With flow MD-). the Mall of St. George for the pins. PD +. In addition to several children can go hiking climbing the Elephant Mallo, or make canyoning in the Lower Guatizalema .
