Me with 'Viento' climbed it by its north ridge (Arista del Cartujo) with excellent weather conditions, but a lot of ice under a 15 cm layer of snow. The snow got very soft at the afternoon. 2 hrs to approach the ridge from the 'Hoya de la Mora' site, at the ski resort, and 2 hrs 15' to follow the ridge till the top. way back over the Tajos de la Virgen ridge till the Collado de la Carihuela in 2 hrs 40' Excellent day
Climbed on a whim after Veleta, stayed at the nearby refuge (froze as only had a sleeping bag liner), then climbed Pico del Tajo de los Machos the next day before heading down to the village of Capiliera.
