The ridge towards Rubia is full of bizarrely eroded large rock formations

Take the climb to Mira slowly, as it can leave you very depleted in terms of muscles.

The route continues along the path that runs along the mountain range. The path is marked with stone markers from the end of the firebreak, it goes up to the right of the first block of the Risco del Bierzo and then to the left of the main summit to the extensive Bierzo hill. The geodesic vertex of La Fría draws attention at the top of some isolated and solitary cliffs, you have to climb the “little stick” at least to take the photo and for the views, although the route of the ridge offers an extraordinary panoramic view at all times. El Torozo and La Mira get almost all the attention. The trail leaves the summit of La Fría (1,983 m) on the left and goes down the southeast slope to the Morillas de Cañamarejo hill. The rope is difficult to run, you need to have experience, strong ankles and a taste for these technical trails on the Gredos summits. The path looks for the best passes on the southeastern slope of the granite towers and reaches the summit of Risco de las Morillas (1,992 m), the highest peak of the ridge and the roof of the trail, although there is no milestone, cross, or vertex. or sculpture that distinguishes the summit. The track passes through the summit because it is the highest point in the mountain massif between the port of Arenal and the port of Pico, for summit collectors, but it can be avoided by taking a shortcut directly through the base of the cliff.

At about 2000 meters above sea level, the Risco de las Morillas peak in the eastern part of the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park is the highest point west of Puerto de Pico. Incredible views from the ridge over the entire mountain range and surrounding valleys. Be sure to check the weather before hitting the trail.

The peak of Torozo is located east of the port of Pico and represents one of the most western peaks in this area of the Sierra de Gredos. The views it offers are very beautiful, although in winter, the snow and the cold can make it difficult!!
