First big day hike of the northern summer in the Pyrenees for me after returning from travels. Pretty big day it was at a 21km roundtrip with 2055m of elevation.
I left home at 6:45 walking to the usual starting point and ascended to Pla d'Estany for where I decided to do the big loop via Estanys Forcats. It is a big climb up there already covering over 100m in altitude gain.
After crossing the small snow field at the main lake, it was a climb through rock fields up to the neck which forms a border between Andorra and Spain. I was surprised how quickly I managed. Had to put on a wind jacket and stash my poles before ascending Pic de Medacorba - a wise decision as the wind was cold even in the hot weather.
Medacorba (2914m) is an intimidating climb for anyone afraid of heights or suffering from vertigo. There are sections that do feel exposed or narrow especially on top. This peak however stands on the border of Andorra, Spain and France. It is worth the visit and I have not been for a while.
The next target was Pic de Comapedrosa (2994m) and also the highest point of Andorra. To get there means a descent to a set of lakes (longer and easier) or crossing a rock and scree field. I decided for the latter as I was alone (except for a satellite communicator as a companion).
Crossing this requires some agility in the legs and feet, but eventually arrived at the base of Portella de Baiau. This pass, which is part of the GR11, is notorious for being covered in loose scree for most of it. I made quick work of it by keeping left and using a rock band for progress. I think I surprised an onlooker at the top for the quick progress I made.
Once up I topped out on Comapedrosa, but as it was early I decided to climb Pic de Sanfons (2889m) as well. My motivation was to avoid the people on the standard Comapedrosa route and to delight myself with the wonderful ridge walk that Sanfons offers.
I climbed up on easy pace as I still had a way to go on the home stretch. Once over the technical ridge I lostyself in thoughts and then found myself walking down the wrong ridge line. A bit of off-track walking got me eventually back to the correct path. Onto the refugi next for a drink and then a long descent to the village for another drink!

I've written a short blog post about a recent encounter I had with a Black Woodpecker during our trip to the Pyrenees. If you fancy having a read and seeing a few pictures I took this is the link https://kierstenrowland.com/the-day-i-met-a-black-woodpecker It was a special moment in time that became our own personal wildlife documentary.

A few months ago, I wrote about becoming deputy-director of the SETE in Moulis next year, in a transient 2-years arrangement. Well, that situation escalated quickly ! After a few months acquainting myself more with the direction tasks, getting to know the nitty-gritty of the lab, and writing a detailed direction program, I received the green light from INEE last week to become full-director of […]
