wow... a way?! ... can´t see something ;))

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Taormina ^club

Yes, I went down here once. The path became non-existent very quickly. The path was actually at the next gap in the ridge. I didn't make that mistake again. I was alright but my t-shirt got torn to shreds!!

You my goodness .... there you must already be lucky,
Because that could have ended differently.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Taormina ^club

Don't worry. I assessed the risk at each step and would have returned the way I came if I couldn't find a possible route down at any stage.

Very kind, micritter. I am lucky, that's all. Access to fantastic scenery in Madrid Province and Cornwall (and nowhere else - I have no time for travelling!!).

Impressive rocks! Yes, they way down looks steep and thorny;-)

6 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Well, it's not the way down - the proper path is at the next gap on the ridge! So, yes, this was hard! And steep. And thorny!! I THOUGHT it was a way down on my first visit. Only later did I realise my mistake!!

Keith Burton ^club

An awesome viewpoint.......................and I can't even imagine what possessed you to have taken that route down from the ridge..!!

6 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Simple. I had a last bus to catch in 3.5 hours and I needed to walk back round the underside of the ridge. So I had to get down somewhere and this looked suitable, at least from the top! This shot was taken in 2014. The time I went down here was in 2011, when I was only just getting to know the Sierra! Now I know every rock!

Mario Vargas ^club

Nice job,nice high pov, love the rock walls at both sides, nice different textures and composition, not sure if color adds, wil you try this one in bw?

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Mario Vargas ^club

I don't recall seeing that option on my limited editing tool but I achieved a sort of b/w effect by other means so I might see if it works. If I post nothing it will be because I haven't liked the effect and b/w doesn't often appeal to me anyway. But thanks for the suggestion!

What a view , Andy, but I guess it is dangerous to get down !!!

6 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Marie-claire Gallet

Not dangerous exactly, just awkward and full of thorns and loose gravel. There are the normal paths to use but I didn't know that when I first came here!

Terrific shot Andy ,sure need a head for heights.

6 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

I seem to have one. Unfortunately my lovely girlfriend suffers from vertigo so we tend to go for walks on the flat. When I manage to get away, it is usually because of some personal or family commitment of hers . That is one reason why my visits here have dwindled significantly in recent years. Thanks Roger!
