I chose this peak, because it is in Picos de Europa. The view is fantastic and so the descent is. Furthermore, it does not require huge efforts.
It was a sunny day from dawn to dusk. The trail starts in Jito de Escarandi, but it is not the track to Caseton de Andara. We are supposed to turn to the right and follow the ridge of the photo.
Diego climbed up the first slopesinto an amzing scenary.

Later, we shared some words. They were going to climb a peak which is close to our peak. Kindly, they took photos of us with a "filmmaker" perspective of our descent.
The descent was one of my best memories of that winter. The snow in the high part was awesome, and the photos show how we enjoyed it.

But, we still had 400m of vertical ascent left ahead us...
We went to the peak at the right, and they went to the pak at the left hand side...
The last meters of our peak, seen from the nearby peak. As you can see, the last part was a bit exposed.

From there, the descent was less steep than it was before.
The last part consisted of a wide and steeper slope which runs from 1550 to 1200m. Easy snow to ride fast untill the car!
We got back to the car still excited!
