Itinerary description

Nice hike, but not easy. Way up is pretty steep and might require some light scrambling in some cases. Way down has also some sections that need you to use some equipment that is there in place in Cami de l'Angel, like a steel cable.

Another downside is that there's a couple sections where you gave to cross roads (with no pass) and go along them.

Despite this, the views are pretty good and lovable. On the way up, specially around the Drecera dels tres quarts, there were plenty of trail runners. On the way down I didn't see a soul, had the whole track for myself. It's a decent workout but won't leave you completely destroyed.

The original track is in https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/montserrat-de-monistrol-al-monestir-de-santa-maria-16622076 and it does a great job describing in detail the turns and nooks - but in Catalan.
