Riglos Spain, 7/21





Lets see what to say about Riglos? First thing that comes to mind is scarry. It is conglomerate rock and it is the first time either of us have climbed anything like it. It is decievingly steep and the first climb we got on was definitly a challange. Mikey pulled through with the lead. Then we moved around to the back side in the shade AND deth zone. The 300 meter tower hung over the back side by 60 to 80 feet and while we were there at least a half dozen rocks came crashing down. After one climb and more close calls than we cared for we decided to call it a day.

From Riglos we went straight North through the Pyrenese into France. The senery was amaizing and we both agreed that it was a great thing to do in the day. After making it to France we got lost in Argeles-Gazost for a half hour on the one way streets before finding the way out, at which point we figured we should stay and eat dinner. After cooking some pasta on one of gretas pop can stoves we were ready to leave when something caught our eye. It turns out as we were leaving there was a dance presintation starting in the park we cooked dinner in. We stayed another half hour to watch part of it and then drove into the night till we found a truck stop to sleep at.
