Picos De Europa

Well, so much for warm rock !
Freak weather brought 50cm of snow to the Picos this week after 18 days of good weather.
Unfortunately rock boots and chalk bags were packed instead of snowshoes and big boots - still the fresh snow made the mountains look good ! and has got me in the mood for some Scottish winter climbing.
The weather did relent enough for a trip to the fantastic Cares Gorge and a snowball fight at El Cable, Fuente De with even some sunshine at Sotres and Pena Del Fresnidello.
