Aguja Guillaumet - West face


21. Tee Pitelka

400m 6b C1

Michal Pitelka (Czech) and Carsten Von Birckhahn (Germany), 28/12/2010.

Description. Climbs a line on the right side of the face, just to the right of Padrijo. The rock is solid throughout. The chimney “gnar” up high can be avoided by climbing cracks to the left. Bolted anchors. Eleven pitches total.

History. This is the third new route that Michal and Carsten have climbed in the west face of Guillaumet.

Approach. Piedra del Fraile to Piedra Negra, across the second saddle right of the start of the NW buttress, across slabs (2 and 3) to a snowfield that leads to the base of the west face.

Descent. Via the same route. Bolted anchors and rap slings.
