Misty and Windy Solo
As described in my summit's log, I did it with misty and windy conditions. There was snow from 2.200 mtrs. aprox. Good snow conditions despite the high temperatures (10 celsius at 7:00 a.m.) Crampons were not needed but I used them for the last 30 meters of the couloir to Portilla del Crampón. On descend, with better weather, snow became soft and hollow. Probably, the last snowy week of the year in this area.
