Itinerary description

Show original
The objective was to make a rapid ascent to the Vakagallen summit, a thousand more complicated and technical than many Three thousand Pyrenees. I decided to make the ascent following the markings of the route, easy enough to follow up to level 400 despite the fact that there are different paths between the rocks that we will have to climb little by little from the end of the fjord to level 270 approximately. Once the area of ​​rocks is over, the slope is important.

At level 400, I made a mistake, traced some tracks that turned out to be a wrong route and ended up making a crest through a ridge at a height of 700m after climbing about 100 vertical meters due to a rockfall. Eye, the final area is very exposed, half a turn to the slightest doubt.

The route of descent I do not recommend it to anyone, if someone follows this route that goes down where it has gone up. I got fog and I lost the references I had to dislodge the already climbed, I ended up going down areas that I still try to forget by playing it on several occasions. You are warned.

While I could not make a summit in Vakagallen, I ended up making a summit at another summit which I have not yet found his name. In the fog you could see a slightly higher peak a few meters away, to reach it without safety material I see it complicated.
