Ascents in Castile and León

Acabo encadenando en el último pegue del día.

No la encadeno al primero y no quiero gastar más pegues en ella.

Proper alpine conditions on the Torreon. low single digit temps, 50km gusts, snow in the descent col. Overall the coldest I've ever been while rock climbing. 7a+ as the second route in Galayos in these conditions was always going to be ambitious, but I gave the crux pitch a solid burn, falling in the dihedral. Went a lot easier after cleaning out the crack and committing to the friction stem. Conditions deteriorated at the 6b+ and we were all thankful to make it to the cumbre without getting rained on. Jaime and Juan had a domestic trying to locate the rap anchors. Eventually we found them and got the f*ck down. Cold af but stoked to share the experience with the twins!

Classic Spanish alpine experience! Massive walk in, huge elevation gain. 6b pitch was the highlight, bomber rock and beautiful arcing crack. Chossy exit that challenges the route finding skills

Madre mía que flojo he vuelto
