alternative to classic climb normal route to Pico Bisaurín. We surrounded the massive
making the circular route for the descent as we use the normal route.
The Bisaurín, is one of the two thousand most emblematic of the Pyrenees and offers a nice climb the north face, usually solitary but this day we joined a group of French and Basque.
's still a fair amount Snow by these dimensions of beak, which makes it possible to extend the "winter" we should say, because the cold was very intense for the time we met, but the wind blowing from north made the temperatures fall dive, the wind chill did not exceed 0 ° and up to the path of descent on the south side did not start up the thermometer.
shown from Lizara Refuge 1.537m. (The truth is that we hesitate between going out or turn around for home because of wind gusts from the north, but as the morning progressed the winds calmed down somewhat, at least not blowing as hard as I had been doing during the night), the trail enters softly at first in the valley that lies between the left and Bisaurín Sierra Bernera on the right, leaving behind the shelter of forest. Shortly after we arrived
Plana Mistresa the junction of the two gullies, the Valley of the Sarrios on the right and that comes from the Collado de Secus to the left, followed by the latter.
continue our way to overcome the Secus ravine shortly before he passed we turn to the left. to go in search of the blades that go down the steep hill of Clubs (which separates the Upper slices of Bisaurín) and take us to meet the output of one of corridors of the famous north face of Bisaurín, from here the route is common to the two ways, once we reached the summit ridge gives us a rewarding view of the cornice formed by wind during the winter. Now you can see both the north and the south side and the show could not be more beautiful as this mountain is separated from the rest and has no nearby peak shading. Within minutes we are already at the top, the wind has been subsiding and we stayed a while to rest and chat with people who were arriving.
It is noon and time to begin the descent. The snow will end soon and we stop for keep off our crampons and ice ax, we slowly as the stony ground is somewhat slippery because of the thaw, when arriving at the hill of Foratón do a short break to stay a little more light of clothing and finish the day without stress, in a short more than 7 hours (including breaks) we're back at the shelter.
has been a happy and beautiful day, highly recommended for lovers of mountain climbing.
