Ice encountered on the ascent of Veleta - Return to Listing
The main summits of the Sierra Nevada can be ascended by either 1 or 2 day trips. You may combine any of these trips into a week or 2 weeks walking. The Sierra Nevada allows us to recapture the solitude and sense of adventure sadly lacking among the more popular ranges of the Alps. The striking thing about the high Sierrra Nevada is the sense of space and the impression of vast scale. Although lacking the spectacular peaks of the Alps, there are wonderful mountain corries filled with sparkling tarns and jagged and pinnacled ridges.
