The traditionnal Aneto

Here we are, the ascension and its traditional ski-touring week-end around the Aneto (the highest summit in the Pyrenees).
This year we've minimized the risks : only 6 persons are heading to the mountains, and no beginners ;)

The forecast are no so great, the isotherm zero should above ... 4000 m ! Useless to say that we're not expecting powder snow.

Anyway, after the usual fat spanish fonda we walk up to the hut (2100m). No snow (glups). The hut is still the same piece of shit : a bloody engine near by spits a shit load of stinking fumes !

We ascent goes well and we can go down around 11am. The snow is so wet that every turn creates a mini avalanche (check the last picture) !
