"Adrieeeeeeeeen, Ferraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, Sergiiiiiiiiiiii ...." Just feel Ferran screaming in pain, I can not see or feel the ... Adrien. ...
Saturday, 16: 30h, parking the football ... We are in Argentona Fernando, Sergio and me. During the morning we had been following the weather and the risk of avalanches. We had two possibilities: athens mall Ice Boi or canal to the north face of the Cadi. A joke in INFOHIELO two days ago which indicates conditions of the channel "as ever" and last year's avalanche (risk 2 out of 5) make us decided to go to the Cadi. The Adrien and Fred, departing from Barcelona, also agree. The weather indicates possible weak snowfall during the night and a "window" of good weather for Sunday morning. Saturday, 20: 10h, they (the Cerdanya) ... We have made the road from Argentona rain that has turned into snow during the Collada de Toses. A Estana the sunset is quiet. Neva weakly. We did not think. We prepare all the material and climb to the Prat de Cadi. The motxil.les weigh as demons. We carry dinner bags, the shabby-store Ferran ... in short, everything you need to spend the night in one of the most beautiful scenery in the Pyrenees. Sergi marks a rise apace. In little more than an hour there we are. Continued snowfall. Saturday, 22: 00h, Prat del Cadi ... The night is not cool (bad sign). Ronnie and I had dinner outside the tent 1ºC. Ferran eats his pasta inside. Not a single noise. Only a slight whistle stove heating hot soup. Half-cloudy sky. Leave snowing. We are only a very idyllic place. Laugh and enjoy the surroundings. Unrepeatable experiences. Once we get inside the bags Adrien and Fred. Greetings and sleep. The next day we work. I close my eyes and think how nice it is to live these adventures with friends, few things to explain, what good moments lived with people who appreciate and love. I fall asleep. Sunday, 08: 00h, walking ... El Prat del Cadi Up to Sergi has sounded at 07h00. We had breakfast in the tent, and secretly gathered the material do not need to climb and we're walking. Fernando decides to take out his bag up. His motxil.la be heavier than the rest. The morning started snowing again, weakly but surely. The snow fall yesterday in the morning and it is still falling builds on older. Total 20 cm of new snow (bad sign). "As athens mall you see?" Asks someone in the group. "This does not look right" answer me. The sky is overcast force. The low clouds cling to the walls of Cadi. Authentic mountain environment! We decided to approach the channel to "see athens mall how it is ... and we're here." A roped two guys who have come in the morning and they slept under an igloo also decide to do it, and we progress. Sunday, 08: 30h, opening track to the Canal Eagle ... Continue snowing. Climb the tough approach. Although there remains athens mall a trace roped Thursday. The Adrien work group. athens mall The still Fred, Fernando and Sergio. I last. The pace is hard. Every 3 or 4 steps legs sink to the thigh. Out of these holes makes the approach is exhausting. However, increasingly we are closer to the wall. Still snowing. I stop to take a picture and discover the other side that has fallen rope that precedes us and makes reverse. "This looks good," I think, athens mall while I try to catch your breath. The companions athens mall nor seen. Sunday; 08h55 shovel entrance to the Canal Eagle ... The forest ends. Now we have only a few 30º snow ramp up walking track. We do flank from right to left to get there. The Adrien continues apace. Ronnie and I started to discuss the conditions. The bad thing continues painting. The Adrien, Fred and Ferran walk the canal and stopped about 25 meters athens mall to the right of it. Ronnie and I come later. The comment I hear that there are other an avalanche at the entrance of the channel ... .. "Wow!" I think "This paints worst ... ever." We talked among ourselves. athens mall The test Adrien approach a little more in the area of the purge. Find a layer of about 15 cm of snow-dust accumulated on a thick layer of snow transformed ... and hard. "Ahem, athens mall ahem ...." While each of us quietly think what to do, we decided to caution entry and equip ourselves ....
