Arribem al parking a les 8.00 i comencem a caminar. L'aproximació és llarga i el tros final no te un camí còmode.
Sobre les 11.30 arribem al peu de la via.

És un sector bonic i apartat on trobem 4 cascades de grau entre 2 i 4. Hi ha gel en abundancia ja que el congost és estret i gairebé no hi toca el sol.

Fem la via en 3 llargs. 2 són pròpiament d'escalada en gel i amb l'últim sortim de la via per un pendent pronunciat de neu primavera. La via és pot fer en 2 llargs si aprofitem be la corda.

Arribem al cim de la via abans de les 16.00 i comencem el descens caminant. Cal seguir direcció SE fins a trobar la part alta del couloir que ens permet evitar el barranc.
Seguim la mateixa ruta que a l'aproximació per tornar al cotxe. Arribem a les 19.15

We arrive at the parking lot at 8:00 a.m. and start to walk. The approach is a long one and the final part does not have a clear path.
At about 11.30 we arrive at the start of the route.

It is a beautiful sector that has 4 waterfalls with degrees between 2 and 4. There is abundant ice because the gully is narrow and the sun almost can't reach it.

We do the route in 3 pitches. 2 are properly ice climbing, and the last pitch we use to get of the route through a steep slope of spring snow. It is possible to do the route in 2 pitches if we use all the length of the ropes.

We reach the top of the route before 16:00 and start the descent on foot. Follow SE to find the upper part of the gully that allows us to avoid the cliffs and waterfalls.
We follow the same route as in the approach to return. We arrive to the car at 19.15
