Approach

From the Can Messana parking follow the GR towards the monastery. Do not go towards the refuge. Pass under a big characteristic roof. From there, identify El Bisbe well.

The path passes almost at the foot of the route. Start on a slab that joins a crack.

Route

L1535 m
L2530 mIn a crack then in a chimney.
L36a30 m
L46c>5+A040 mRemember to take quickdraws back as you go.

L65+30 mOptional belay station.
L76c?>4A015 m

Descent

1 abseil of 50 m from the summit on the south face or 2 short ones, one of them on an unequipped tree. Then on foot towards the refuge then the parking. Possibility of passing again at the foot of the route but more complex.

Gear

Useful cams but quite a few good fixed points in place. Taking 4-5 still does the morale good. Rather big ones.

Remarks

Route in semi-adventure terrain
