We return to our beloved Moncayo, the seed of our blog. Output falls Peter, physical, Iker who was with last week and could not make up for bad weather. On the way we met some friends from La Almunia, who tell us that they have gone at night and is perfect for crampons.
decided to give 
vue lta long climb from the source of the friars, by rising classic zigzag and down the hill of Bello ( here is the link of the same but in the summer after going ). We started with good pace, I I'm a little behind on the half-hour climb to the shrine, I prefer regular thinking about what you expect. In the part of the forest to the circus some ice without major problems, as we left the forest and become essential crampons, we stopped for ponérnoslos, for almost all the first time and is an incredible feeling dominate tread on an ice sheet, give a lot security.
several mountaineers climbing tracks that exist in the language of the circus, straight to the top, but to be our first time in this technique prefer to climb the switchbacks. In this part, strong gusts of wind, in many areas of pack ice and other curious ice sheets, says Iker was like walking on ice buckets bar. Roberto go ahead and Lapi, Iker rubber makes them and eventually the two got together to raise our pace, we enjoyed the grip of crampons and breathtaking views that surround us, but not removed from the effort to overcome ramps, with the overuse of crampons.
a white top blanket of ice covers from the hill top beautiful to . 
We went to her, very satisfied and happy to have made up, had lunch in the windscreen, now ice with other mountaineers, who kindly and seeing the face of hunger for some, we offer a cookie chocolate-eating part of our group haha. We are not too long ago a splendid morning, but the wind chill in the air is quite cold.
We go to the hill Bellido, on the rise and now we have to stop to readjust crampons, but without much problem. We won the hill and down to the GR, remember, the pines are always right, if not checked, the ice disappears. We took off our crampons and GR reaching the first problem, there are hunters doing the mixing. We recommend that we go down a track to anonymous Moncayo, 16 km from the car, they say no, which is a GR and come back for it without leaving the Mount belongs to everyone.
The second problem is more, we'd think that would trail clean, but no, medium soft snow meter, or you sank to the knee, covering the entire GR. Roberto is going opening track, following others already there, but we seem drunk ducks, falling from the mattress of snow. We are very long and heavy 
this piece, we all heavily loaded leg of the climb. We wanted to take a pitcher in the sanctuary before lowering the car, but we made too long over and the weather is changing, so we decided not to stop at the sanctuary to catch more water and immediately go down to the car.
Ichor In the latter piece is released for no charge knees jogging, Roberto and I stayed with David limping from a sprained ankle, dropping much calmer.
well in the stretch drive and do not stop commenting so fine morning, the pair of hard, we just get under his belt. In the evening, of course, a thousand reeds not stop talking about the Mancayo, ice, crampons, snow and possible routes, although some @ s they think about tiring. It was a perfect day, the winter Moncayo has nothing to do with the summer, we climbed the same mountain, discovering a new one. Great.
Until next time ....
