| Description: | Part of Maladeta massif located in the Benasque Valley land comprising granitic Palaeozoic and Mesozoic materials that serve as cover. Located in the Parque Natural Posets-Maladeta, in the town of Benasque, Huesca province, autonomous region of Aragon in Spain. On the north side, from the approximately 2810 m, lies the largest glacier in the Pyrenees, with about 100 ha. It, like many in the world, in open regression as a result of climate change. It is estimated that over the past 100 years has lost more than half of its surface, and that in 30 or 40 years may disappear. The first ascent was made on July 20, 1842 by Plato of Tchihatcheff, Russian military spending the summer in Bagneres-de-Luchon and Albert de Franqueville, botanist Norman. He was accompanied by Pierre Sanio Light guides, Arrazau Bernard, and Jean Pierre Redonnet Sors. named Albert de Franqueville final step to the summit as "a step of Muhammad", it is assumed that according to Muslim legend says that the entrance to paradise is as close as the edge of a scimitar. While most routes are considered easy climb, a summit is demanding because of factors such as the gap to overcome, the high altitude and the presence of the glacier. The rise of Aneto exceeds the category of walking or hiking, and enter in field of mountaineering, so one must be familiar with basic techniques of this discipline before undertaking the assault on the summit. is highly recommended for all routes and in all seasons, have hard boots, crampons, ice ax, warm and waterproof clothing, gloves and goggles. On routes of difficulty or for people with vertigo, it is also advisable to use rope and harness or vague with carabiner. Special attention deserves crossing the glacier, which always carries risks and requires special technique. Moreover, even in the best days of summer storms are frequent during the afternoon, so it should boot the rise very soon to reach the top soon. This summit is one of the most promoted from the mountains, especially in summer. Many inexperienced hikers flout the most elementary precautions above, causing almost every year have to regret any fatality. The normal route is by the Besurta - The Renclusa - Portillón Superior - Aneto Glacier - Collado de Coronas - Step Muhammad - Top (1504 m, 5 h 30 min.) Depart from La Besurta (1900 m) along the path of the Renclusa, perfectly suited. Once in the shelter of the Renclusa (2149 m, 45 min) walk up a path that quickly becomes a rocky path marked by numerous milestones. Rises in SE direction parallel to the crest of the Portillon, rising from the base of Peak to Peak Renclusa Maladeta. We spend the glacier, on the other side of the ridge, the lower Portillon (2738 m, 2h 25 min) or the top (2870 m, 3 h). As its name implies, Portillon are hollow on the ridge linking the glacier Maladeta with that of Aneto. In summer it is advisable to go through the top to reach the glacier with more height and shorten the path between the blocks are the melting chaotic. If you want to do more entertaining way, you can also climb from the bottom up by the very crest. diagonally crossing the glacier we gently up the hill of Crowns (3198 m, 4 h 45 min). ascend down a steep slope of snow, at the end of summer with care until you reach the small (about 30 m) ridge called "Pas de Mohammed" difficult but very low overhead. On weekends and summer holidays there are such crowds that it passes it becomes more annoying that dangerous. It is best to arrive early and with good supply of patience. The decline can be done by the same route or, if there is heavy snow left down the glacier to the plan Aigualluts. This is obviously the best option when in the winter or spring with skis. If you get off on the right of the glacier reaches the valley Barrancs, through which also reaches Aigualluts plan. In these two cases should be borne in mind that if it rained or there is strong snowmelt over the streams can be quite complicated (and cold). The crowns path is Senart - Vallibierna - Bridge Crowns - Crowns Ibone - Glacier Coronas - Collado de Coronas - Step Muhammad - Top (1454 m, 5 hours) Depart Crowns Bridge (1950 m), near the fishing refuge, where we left the bus, or where we will come after about 8 km of track from the plan Sénart. Moving along the old logging road (now GR11), the 10 minutes we Devi left towards the valley of Coronas. For a well marked trail we arrived at ibonet of Crowns (2230 m, 45 min.). continue along the path to the first ibón of Crowns (2610 m, 1 h 45 min.) That we jumping on the large stone blocks drainage. If necessary there are several bivouacs where we plant a relatively sheltered shop. Following stone milestones or landmarks to reach the second ibón of Crowns (2725 m, 2 h) circle the ibón to the right until you reach the moraine of the glacier almost extinct Coronas, where you can find snow in winter and spring but that we climb the rocks in summer and autumn. At the end of the climb, and after a short climb, we reached the Col de Coronas (3198 m, 4 h 15 min.). Collado Once in the climb to the top by the same path as in the Normal. The descent can be made either by the same valley as the Crown or Aigualluts Renclusa. |
