{\bf 'ANETO' PEAK}\l
5 hours 30 mins.\l
3,404 m. high\vskip 1cm

The {\sl Aneto} is the highest peak of the Pyrenees. To reach it, it is
necessary to cross a small glacier and therefore you will need to take
with you all necessary high mountain tools such as ropes, ice axe and
crampons.

The departure point is the end of the asphalt trail that goes to the
{\sl Ospital,
Besurta} and the {\sl Rencllusa}. Take the track on your right to the
refuge of the {\sl Rencllusa} (2,140 m.) which you will reach in about
30 minutes.

Keep going up towards the crest of the {\sl Portillons} on your left
side and you will reach the Lower {\sl Portill\'on} (2,745 m.) in 2
hours
and 15 minutes. Keep following the right (West) side of the crest till
you get to the Upper {\sl Portill\'on} (2,870 m.) after 3 hours. Cross
the {\sl Portill\'on} towards the glacier of the {\sl Aneto}, which you
will
cross diagonally to the {\sl Collada de Coronas} (3,198 m. - 4 h.45
min.). From there, go up the left (North) side of the crest until,
virtually on its top, it narrows into the well-know {\sl Mahoma} Bridge,
which has to be crossed very carefully. Immediately after having
crossed it you will reach the top of the {\sl Aneto}.
