Topography
It rises at the centre of the cirques of Marcadau, Piedrafita and Bachimaña, and is surrounded by many lakes or Ibóns.
Given its high altitude and pyramidal form, it is a well climbed summit.
History
The first ascent was carried out by Henry Russell and guide Cauterets Latour in the summer of 1874.[1]
Access
From France, a path starts from the Wallon valley and another from the zone de Respomuso (cirque de Piedrafita).
From Spain, the path starts at la Sarra marsh (Sallent de Gállego), goes past the Respumuso dam, the ibón de Campoplano, the Ibóns de la Fache, the port de la Fache and ends by steep slopes up to the summit.
