December 21 to 22, 2008 Yours Truly and Pilar Pitches: 10 Grade: 5.10a Temperature: 23 degrees C Where: Montserrat, ESPANA Day 1: Aresta Ribas route on the Pollego de la Vinya Nova. Lunching just before the crux pitch somewhere up high.        Beautiful potato conglomerate! Yaaahoo.  Beautiful! The sun starting to think about setting! The summit at sunset! Our route in red and descent (in the dark) in yellow. General view of the south-eastern side of Montserrat. Day 2: big plans for climbing cool stuff, but we ended up just hiking.  The arete on the left of        the photo is a classssssic 5.10b!  Another day. View of the south-west side from the highest point of Montserrat.  Steep!  You can see the snowy Pyrenees on the right horizon.  Fantastic place!!!
