Difficult Hiking route Aneto Peak Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees at 3.404 meters, is situated in the Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta. It is the source of many legends and a great challenge to climbers and trekkers. A worthy challenge but also dangerous. Although it isn’t an excessively difficult climb, it is a “three thousander” and there is a glacier to cross and other minor difficulties which people tend to forget and in fact many climb the mountain who are not really well prepared to do so. ROUTE The ideal starting point for the ascent of Aneto is the refuge of the Renclusa. From here there is a path going SE. It’s difficult to lose your way due to the piles of marker stones and the amount of climbers on the path. The zig zagging path rises fairly gently through increasingly sparse vegetation. In 1 hour and 40 minutes the Aneto glacier can be seen from the Lower Portillon at 2.818 meters. From here you go down to the glacier via a well worn path. After about three and a half hours the path reaches the Coronas Pass and only the final stretch of glacier, with its enormous cracks, remains. Here you will find the dangerous Mahoma’s Crossing where you will have to climb using the previously installed hooks you will find there. From here you have only to continue along the sharp ridge to reach the highest point in the Pyrenees. DETAILS • Location: Posets - Maladeta Natural Park • Ascent time: 6 hours • Descent time: 5 hours • Recommended dates: summer • Difficulty: The scree slopes are dangerous as is the stretch over the glacier, on the windy, narrow paths of the crest and a piolet, rope and crampons should be used • Level: for experienced and well equipped mountaineers. • Starting point: Renclusa Refuge (2.140 metros) • Max. altitude: Aneto Peak (3.404 metres) • Maps: PRAMES: Map Aneto - Maladetas, Park Posets- Maladeta; Alpine: Maladeta-Aneto; I.G.N. and Military Geographical Service: Map N148-180 Further information: Oficina de Información Excursionista de Benasque.

L f\f¿ áfó b^i,. ‘<& t¿ ytn) ¿L0d àw 1 /1 ^ / / /This publication contains copyright material. *FM 90-6 FieW Manual HEADQUARTERS No We DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Washington, DC, 30 June 1980 MOÜJMTAIIM OPERATIONS PREFACE he purpose of this rUanual is to describe how US Army forces fight in mountain regions. Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

Aneto Participants
Compte rendu Raid SLAT Samedi 23 Mars au Samedi 31 mars 2019 Haute Route Royale Pyrénéenne Raid Posets – Aneto Participants: Frédéric (Bort) - Alexandre (Martellozzo) - Olivier (Laverdan) - Thomas (Badia) - Cyril (Montobbio) – Francis (Druilhe) – François (Pfindel) Prologue Le choix de la destination s’est porté sur le Massif des Posets et de l’Aneto. Une très belle zone de haute montagne pyrénéenne, où l’on trouve les plus grands glaciers des Pyrénées (et c’est pas peut dire), des zones sauvages et engagées, et plein de sommets mythiques (pour les Pyrénées). Nous avons concocté un superbe parcours au grand large, avec des longues étapes, dont certaines avec des passages techniques où il faudra mettre plusieurs fois les skis sur le sac, les crampons aux pieds et le piolet à la main. Nous traverserons le massif des Posets et du Perdiguere, puis nous ferons une boucle autour de l’Aneto, avec en apothéose son ascension : une sorte de Haute Route Royale Pyrénéenne. Ce raid est donc destiné aux skieurs randonneurs expérimentés, ayant le pied montagnard, dotés d’une bonne condition physique et ne craignant pas de faire une ou deux étapes qui pourront être de 7 à 8 heures avec un dénivelé positif qui pourra dépasser 1500 mètres. Nous serons donc 7 skieurs, que l’on peut classer en 3 catégories : • 60 – 70kg : Fred, Alex, Olivier, Thomas et Francis • >70kg : Cyril • >> 80kg : Francois Voilà pour le plan ! Mais la suite de l’histoire va nous montrer que les sirènes de la haute montagne restent les maîtresses et peuvent fortement influencer la motivation des encadrants.
