La Sierra de La Cabrera

La Sierra de La Cabrera
I'm standing on the (faint) path straight down to the monastery. It is steep and overgrown with brambles in some places, and swept away by heavy rains in others and is not for the faint-hearted. But it is easily the quickest way down from the top (25 minutes). The ascent by this route is another matter! I did it once and it was unpleasant and tricky (although used by seasoned rock climbers to get to their favourite crags in the shortest possible time!). In fact I think this was taken on that walk up. I needed any excuse for a lungfull of oxygen and so taking shots was that excuse!

Good on you, climbing up to the top of this mountain. I'm sure there's a quicker way down, probably only a couple of minutes, but it would hurt!!!! So you stick to the way you know! Amazing view from the top though.

Thank you, Jenny. Yesterday, I took the standard path down but I would have been better off with this path because the usual path is so dusty and eroded with all the human traffic in the drought conditions we are suffering, that it was a positive menace!
Best wishes,
Andy

You wouldn't want to fall!! That would be a faster descent but less enjoyable!!
