You have taken your time with creating your first page! It is informative but a bit shortish. Maybe you could add some more descriptions to the Port de Larrau Route. Signs, landmarks, maybe some statistics (elevation gain, starting altitude and so on). I have found it helpful to create standardized overview tables - look at any of my newer routes to see what I mean.
The Basque language sure has strange names - Kartxela is one of them - maybe you can help us with a pronounciation "guide".
Already very useful and well-illustrated, but some improvements could be made:
-you've listed it twice under "los pirineos", you need to fix this on the Edit page.
-give the latitude and longitude: 42.953, -0.889
-pick a photo to be the signature photo.
-only about half the photos have been assigned to a section on the main page or a route page. Attach them to the appropriate section if you want people to see them.
Things may changed since I've been in the region, so I don't know if both forms are still used on maps and signs, but it would still be interesting to give both Basque and Castilian names as much as possible. (eg, Baja Navarra)
Also you should mention alternative names for this mountain: "Lakartxela".
Interesting commentary for the border mountains: you can take the 2 countrys in edit mode (click France and while you pulsate CTRL make a new click in Spain). In this mode your mountain appear in the list of Mountains of France and Spain (more people can see your page).
But are you sure about the country of this mountain? according with my 3 maps of the zone the summit are completely in Navarra (Spain). The frontier go across Bimbalet and col of Belai (under Txardekagaina-Baracea), Lakartxela is in south of border. Consult your maps.
I agree with rbartolome, please give a little thought tho the country issue: at the very least Kartxela is placed between France and Spain. Therefore, locating it in both countries might make this page easier to find by SP users. Otherwise, good job. Thanks for the effort, edouet. Will try to post some pictures.

Once again - well done page.

Untitled CommentInformative page. Nice photos.
I hope I never have to ask for directions in Euskadi/Basque country - those names blow my mind.

Untitled CommentLooks like a nice area. Almost as high as Mount LeConte in the Smokies!

Untitled CommentBasically good, but just a little bit scant information.

Untitled CommentI will give 4 stars for first effort. But the information is a little thin.
The 2 routes could be filled out more.
Essential gear in summer I imagine would be a water-proof jacket. Hat. etc.
Good start. Cheers William
