Climbing The Peneda. Advisory
mid-October I was climbing with Nano and Cuco, two friends of the Peneda O Barco. For years he was not there, but knew he had hit a cleaning and refurbishing .... For those not familiar with this area give some facts:
- Location: About 25 km of Melgaco. Villa on the other side of Minho, opposite Arbo, people of the province of Pontevedra famous for the fisheries of the lamprey, among other things.
- Access. From Benavente-Vigo highway, if you come from Ourense, at the height of the output is taken Cañiza telling us Arbo, Portugal. In twenty-five miles we Melgaco. In the ring must Melgaco take the detour to Llamas de Mouro and A Nosa Senhora da Peneda. Mountain Road accede to this beautiful corner of the Serra do Xures: a town famous for the Sanctuary and its granite walls.
- The wall. It is a 150m wall, facing south with a perfect rock, whose only flaw is the tendency to fill with lichens due to humidity and ... an abundance of cracks and dihedrals and thin plates and sticking pins . There are about fifty ways, usually upper-medium grade. Among 6a + / by 7a +. There are few easy ways. We re
S. Perhaps the most classic route known for the beautiful 2-second long, which is a gorgeous crescent of 25 m, that mixes with parabolts self in the area is not left to protect. It was the third time that I did and was as amazing as the other two occasions.
track description: Four long problems V +, 6b +, 6a + and 6c. Parabolts self and in steps of plaque. The degree required is around 6a.
The pimer Length: 30m Dihedral, highlight, cracks. V +. Necessary complete set of friends. With number 1 and 2 repeated eccentric or a more comfortable going. Just a nail as equipment, but sure look nice.
The second long. 27 m. Is the pump. In free 6b +. The shape of the crescent shape that gives its name to the track. Are required numbers of medium and small camalots.
The third length. 25 m 6a +. Diedrillo, highlight and technical board. Eye. The output of the track is not the most obvious, which leads to a crack and a dihedral lying. Just after the highlight comes right at a meeting at the base of a vertical low wall, protected by two parabolts.
The long room. 22m. 6c. Block pass a step at the beginning and then goes through a sort of dirty little dihedral mosque by falling on shelf. It would not hurt a friend of 3.5 to finish the route with ease. Meetings are
rappel.
The descent is not too obvious. You have to climb to the northwest, right from the highest point we reached up to some stairs carved into the stone. From there go following milestones, by the middle of the vegetation and some spectacular granite bowls and try to catch a downspout to the left to reach the river that flows into the sanctuary and the path of ascent.
upload photos in the coming days.
Indeed propose a monument to the hard workers who cleaned and re-equipped the wall.
