Itinerary description

A nice peak close to the Colomers refuge, easy to climb up, fun to ski down, and with great views from the top. We didn't go to the highest point, which is at the east end of the summit ridge. With good snow you can skin up to / ski off from the true summit, but the snow face approaches 40 degrees. Following this line to the col (and going on the summit on foot) is the easier and more common ski line.
(Note: you can ski off the other side - steep at start but then moderate - and access the Ventosa Hut that way. More interesting than the standard route via the Port de Caldes. See my track: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=6217272)
