To listen:
This weekend, seeing that the Pyrenees was going to do a cold freeze until the ideas, Rota (Forero Mendiak.net ) and the undersigned, imitiando migratory birds pal went south to try the Almanzor Gredos
I woke up by 4:30 AM and for the 5 : 30AM Rota was picking up and we went into his car. The truth is that the road is comfortable, long, but comfortable because it is a long time highway-highway. The only downside, the fog that had at that time, and any animals that you can cross (to be told to hit ...:( rabbit).
In 5 short hours, stopping half an hour for breakfast, we planted in the parking lot of the platform and began to walk Gredos. The idea was to make Saturday the Morezon (up quiet and calm) and then down the Canal de la Mina, go to the Refuge Elola would spend the night.
Truth is that there have been a number of things that have left us a little freaked out ...
one hand it is amazing the wildlife that you cross over there and I do not mean just the salamanders and mountain goats .... Being relatively
near Madrid and "Roman road" that leads to the refuge makes the weekend that looks like a pilgrimage. My God the people who had! The parking platform has 150 seats and when we arrived on Saturday at around 11, were all full and we had to park in a ditch. Seeing is believing ...
And then, the shelter, accustomed to certain "shelter-hotel" of the Pyrenees, you get to Elola and completely spartan and loud (reminded me to some extent Goriz). Being so busy expected to be more "gentleman."
But of course, that does not mean that he who sleeps beside you steal your blanket and get away with it, and if not tell that to Rota ...
And you do face a couple of families with kids who do not despite being silent when silence and have removed the light ...
you to find people sleeping on the floor of rooms reserved for non-square the refugees and almost left in the street without a jacket or anything.
And for you to find great guides who claim to know everything and then you lose part of the group by the way is not (or so it seemed at least), loin steaks "millimeter thick" we eat ...
But not all things would be "bad" also agree with a group of mothers who shared with us, well, jejejejeje me, a bottle of patxaran and those who we had a nice dinner and a group from another forum www.amigosdemontaña.es with whom we share the descent of the Canal Morezon Mine and rise the next day to Almanzor (because they do not get confused and throw porthole correctly to the crampon)
Well, after this we go with the metal piece itself repor ...

Come on, let it ... Mountain troops advance along the Roman road, Via Gredensis "you could call ...
up there, where are these posters is where we have to divert to the left.
Here's

Spielberg recording some shots ... to see if the video post-production is not delayed too ...
uffff ... we are not tired anything at all ... This is a little walk
Everything we've gone through what is known as String of Refuge, at a leisurely pace, there is plenty of time
In our izda (depending on the sense of elevation ) are appearing the Galayos. Ozú!
impress a while
about to reach the summit of Cerro de la droppings (2299m)
milestone marking the hill to the left and right Morezon in the back
Morezon, then we have to climb the slope. There seems complicated (with snow and would be another singing)
Goat
Issues Hispanica. It was amazing how quiet they were and what they tolerate human presence
If Snapshot = If Cima. Cerro de la droppings (2299m). My first official summit
Gredos
removing environmental 
I said ... more copies of goat hispanica, and the photo is not pulled far zoom ...
And we had time, as we approached a nearby crag (Risco del Fraile ?¿?). Come to the Cross
And there were, on the border between the fog enveloped us or stay clean ... After a day off the cliff lined the
Morezon
about to reach top we see that the clouds are about to engulf (failed to do so) and as the Hill of the droppings is covered.
And we got to the top of Morezon and started afoto the Mansur and the Circo de Gredos. Here you can see the top and the channel to the left crampon
Just in case ... If Snapshot = If I was there, with Mansur in the background;)
clouds left in shade part of the circus, is just below the shelter Elola.
Vertically, we see the shelter and all the increase we have to do tomorrow
Pulling zoom. Until we have prepared the repor I have not seen the H Heliport ...

This was around to see if he got some food from the mountain
And If Snapshot = If Cima. Morezon (2393m)
eat the sandwich
After playing down to the shelter by the Canal de la Mina. We got along a track running down the left channel, but I guess that could be right too. No snow no difficulty and occasionally were located milestones that helped in the fall, snow will be another story.
Down
And we find one of the famous salamander Gredos
Elola Refuge and part of the Laguna Grande
For this channel were down a few .... not get to see them, but I get there I crazy or ...
And once down, there was only following the path to the refuge. I understand that the towpath at the top is for when the lake level is very high, but ... a lot has to go, no??
Reaching out to refugees
Those who later rose to Mansur (as our table compis) above are rogue fog.
Already this! We've arrived! And yet it's 4 ... rosette spray, beers, dinner and lie down for a while ... Or at least that was what we thought ... For nothing! No showers, or that higienizarte or wet wipes or river basins. Na lie on the bunks for up to 19h did not open and dining rooms ... scarce. The "steak tenderloin traspartente goat", as having made a picture ...
Well .. we're on the mountain, koinio! As there was plenty of time, I dedicated myself to doing whatever photo browse magazines, etc ...
Well, you do not miss the mandatory hydration of all mountaineers that boasts ...
And we've been up there ...
Well, when we let into our rooms, we dedicate ourselves to settle.
Any picture on our room
and exploration for other rooms ... hideout go! It was too big and had three floors! Which sleep up just freak! (Room The Brothers). Ainsss ... what I would like sleeping in the room Morezon ... (Directly from us we play La Galana)
Peak, what is said, rather low, with a very nice group of Madrid. Greetings from here for them and then, as the typical digestive Mountaineer ... patxaran a little. I'm leaving, but do not be shy and refuse invitations ... hehehehe. A bit of chatter and sleep, tomorrow turn Almanzor.
