Programme and itinerary

The outline schedule leaves Jaca at 06:00, starts the approach at 07:00 and climbing between 08:00 and 09:00. It estimates a summit at 12:00, the car at 14:00–15:00 and Jaca at 16:00–17:00.

Discuss how plans apply to the itinerary, your experience and conditions. Other routes in the additional information are alternative suggestions rather than stages of this ascent.

Equipment
Programme

You must be able to lead grade IV rock on partially equipped terrain while wearing rigid boots, and have previous experience on snow or ice slopes of 50–60°.

Reference alpine grades:

AD+: long, steep rock, snow or ice slopes, narrow exposed ridges, grade III–IV climbing and complex, heavily crevassed glaciers. Rope use is essential and previous mountaineering experience is required.

D: sustained routes with sections of 50–60°, requiring reliable technique and a sound knowledge of safety systems. Continuous climbing on rock, frequently grade IV, snow or ice.

MD: long and technically demanding climbs in varied terrain, potentially reaching grade V rock, with steep slopes and high exposure. These routes may be remote and require considerable technical ability.
