El Pedraforca

view map

Pedraforca is one of the most beautiful mountains in Catatlunya. It has two main peaks that look like a pitchfork when viewed from the East (Pedraforca means 'pitchfork of stone' in Catalan). The North face is a steep rocky wall in which dificult climbing was introduced in Catalonia by Lluis Estasen in 1928. Nowadays a lot of people ascent it by the normal route, specially in summer, because it is easy. The route climbs the north peak (Pollegó Superior), which is the highest. It is a nice route, you cross a forest, walk up a col (Coll del Verdet), climb a little rocky section (very easy) and follow the ridge overhanging the north face (a little aerial). The descent usually is made by the stonefield which lies between the two peaks. The other peak (Pollegó Inferior) is about 2400 m and it can also be climbed easily.

It's a superior looking mountain softened by the warmth of the trees.
