Canal del palomo

Climbing 'Canal del Palomo' (grade C/D) offers a classic alpine experience, blending enjoyable climbing with stunning scenery. The route typically involves navigating a prominent couloir (canal), often featuring sections of steep snow or ice in the lower parts, particularly earlier in the season. As you ascend, the terrain transitions to mixed rock and snow, demanding a variety of climbing techniques.

Expect sustained effort, requiring good physical fitness and solid cramponing and ice axe skills if snow/ice is present. Routefinding is generally straightforward following the obvious gully, but assessing snow conditions and potential rockfall hazard is crucial. The C/D grade indicates sections with some exposure and moderately difficult climbing, potentially requiring short sections of technical rock moves. Overall, 'Canal del Palomo' delivers a rewarding climb that demands respect and preparation.
