Cristina and Chema with Pico Robiñera and lakes behind Munia
L to Munia (3.134m) on skis, x Chisagüés
Saturday February 12, 2011
Enrique Lardiés, Edesio Vidal, Maria Cristina Martinez and Chema, Javier Goicoechea and Jorge G ª-Dihinx
took advantage of the conditions of poor snow cover at lower altitudes that there was still the Last February 12 to access the trail that climbs to Chisagüés mines Parzen (Biel), even reaching the altitude 1.850m with the Toyota Prius of Henry. Clean day. Well!
from Madrid are encouraged to Colemenar (Cristina and Chema). Also pointing from Logroño and of course Javier Goicoechea Edesio and Harry.
went out with skis on runway up to the precipice of Clot, we crossed initially, rising on his right to a narrowing this year is no snow and the skis barefoot we (inbound descend the slopes of izquieda margin, between snow and grass skiing .) After the narrows, we walk a plain that lies under the south wall of Robiñera, where we had lunch. From there we climb a steep, narrow channel, with skis, to the Pass of the Doors (2.553m), which leads us to the plains of the Lake of the Munia. Thence south facing gentle ramps lead to the Col de la Munia.
think it would be best to avoid cat over the normal route from the Col de la Munia. So we're climbing the right-hand to reach the base of a rock wall where we will ski. We
access from this side stripe edge, hanging, makes you the edge over the Paso del Gato. But once we see that the nearby snow slope is steeper than it looked when we saw a few days before from Ordesa. Ummm ...
The snow is very wet, even rotting in the hot sections near the rock wall, which takes all day in the sun. After leaving skis and put crampons, move gently along the hillside to the rock wall to our right. We climbed a ledge of rock and we Enrique and myself on the shoulder on horizontal traverse. The rest of the group do not just prefer to stay clear and wait where the skis. Quarter's 3 o'clock.
After completion this rock ledge, Enrique live strip up by area of \u200b\u200brock and snow. Loose rock, solid rock. Which is which? Because only parts of rock outcrops partially covered by this rotten snow. Umm ... We must go carefully testing each piece of rock that grabs one before you pull, making sure that no loose. And so I follow
Henry, who is already installed on the summit ridge. I scream that "the moment everything is going well." That encourages me to follow in his footsteps for a more delicate terrain than expected. I have uploaded with care, planting tips of my crampons on rock and sinking carefully around the ice ax into the snow before each step. At one point, I leave the rock area to area with snow, but without the imprint of Henry. It seems that he has climbed a right channel. The last 4 meters for connecting with the edge of a ramp of snow are vertical in which I try to sink it my boots at every step, and the entire ice ax into the snow. I still have 2 meters and climbs more. To climb, no problem. But I look down and then imagining the look down. The snow is very wet after leading all day in the sun. Will have to work to lose, I think. The presence of Henry above gives me confidence. I climb the last meters.
Well, I'm on the edge with Henry. From our place on the ridge, the famous cat washing step is already under us, but we still have the edge at the top is long. A for it!
begin with a broad, flat area for which advance glued to the French side (north) to the south side as a large cornices hang from the edge not seen. We follow and more entertaining sections, mixed snow and rock that are left to do. We are half-edge when I look at his watch: 3:30 PM.
follow the rise and fall of the edge, focusing on each step, alternating rock and snow. Enrique and I'll go back to the walls fotofrafiando Ordesa in the background. I let it go for shooting the opposite perspective to the last minute. Shortly before the summit there is a sharp transition from the type of snow that are on the Alpamayo. Umm ... Enrique cautiously passes without difficulty and, a little later and we're on top. What long has been the edge! comment. Are
15:48 hours. Just 2 minutes we were on top. Just to a few quick pictures and a short drink of water. Below are waiting for the rest and will be concerned about not knowing anything about us. TOO redo the edge is and then see how we descended the steep slope south to ski ...
remains fabric. Well, concentration, calmness and continuous attention each step. Become slowly but steadily up the ridge. At 16:12 pm we reach the point where we caught the edge. To avoid this we detrepe as vertical edge down gently a few feet and then make a horizontal crossing our path will lead to rise of rock and snow and, hence, to skis. We reached them at 16:40 hours. It has cost us 2 hours up and down! What intense. What physical and mental spending only a few meters .... but so delicate.
We conclude that the most natural and safe to climb the Munia is to follow the normal route that runs from the Col de la Munia along the ridge, passing over cat. Although it is a step washing and somewhat technical, is not exposed and offers more guarantees of security and self use the ramp that we have chosen. Just a small sling to protect the safe passage, while our ramp had no means of defending himself. Well
nothing but the greatest difficulties, we ski and we jump into lakes of Munia with lights in the evening and a pleasant spring snow allows us to skiing well! Yupiii!
Shortly after 6 pm we got back to the car, thereby benefiting from a drop still more snow than expected, despite being half of the decline already in shadow!
What a great activity! Thanks the whole group for your company. A Javier, Edesio, Cristina and Chema and waited for 2 hours of edge! And Henry, who guided me to it, and without which it could not have come this far. Thanks again, fellow Rochefort! Jorge

Our trip to the Muni, by the side strip prevents the passage of the cat. Our conclusion is that a belt is exposed and less secure than the normal cat step. From here we recommend going the normal way, leading a small sling case to ensure that short step, easy self-protection.
