Walking up El Cielo

Well, we tried, with no expectation of getting above the snow line...

Here's the track:




A great walk with the group, just 200m below the summit of the local peak, El Cielo, above Nerja at 1508m above sea level. That's not bad at all. The snow was mainly dumped the day before the walk unfortunately. Locals tell us they have not seen so much snow on the surrounding peaks for 30 odd years.

The leaders correctly judged that conditions were too risky above the snow line, so we marched back down again...

Perhaps we'll try again before the year is out.

So near...



That's why..
