very nice winter climb to this beautifull mountain.
Warning to muntaineers of SP: la escupidera is a very dangerous pass in winter. This is an important climb.
Para ser el primer 3000 hacerlo en invierno creo que tiene mucho mérito. Felicidades.
Hola Pablo,
we also found the Escupidera interesting on our first visit in May 2001, so interesting in fact that we retreated due to having only telescopic poles (unsuitable for Ice). We returned in 2002 with our Ice axes and completed the climb. Luckily for us the view was perfectly clear.
cheers Johnnie
Hola Johnnie,
I am very pleased for your comments and about your decision to retrieve and to come back to Monte Perdido and "La escupidera". It can be really dangerous if not having adequate gear. Ordesa Valley is splendid in any case and deserves several visits. Saludos. Pablo

Re: EnhorabuenaMuchas gracias Rafa, efectivamente hubo momentos muy intensos que no se olvidaran !
Indeed La Escupidera requires full focus and care. Crampons, Ice axe and even a rope is recommended !!
A nice mountain !!
