Walk Summary
Parking at track junction looking towards route to walk |
Back at last gate. No sight of well established path but decide to follow fence. Turned out to be a bushwack |
Refugio Erteza |
Returning to the van was much more straight forward following the track back to where I joined it on the ascent and continuing to Refugio Eretza. Although the path down from here was not easy to find, once I had it was easy walking back down along what I thought would have been the original planned route. But at 43.23228°N, 3.06856W there is a junction to a new track to the switchback I missed on the ascent.
Potentially a straight forward route up and down the ascent route. Made a preferable circular walk at the expense of a bushwhack on the ascent. Really must learn it is OK to not always manage a circular route!
