Lorazepam Fear Flying

ANDALUCÍA


Barranco CAZORLA: NO CHAIN \u200b\u200bNO CRIME

Finally Friday !!!... this time, as is customary every 15 days, the team VALMU (ValenciALicantinoMUrciano), formed by Moni (Valencia), Jesus (Murcia) and I (Alicante) were to spend a weekend with our colleagues and friends Andaluces . In this case, a ravine in the Sierra de Cazorla and another in the Castril.

... we got home about 22.30, at the same microsecond that "Berrios Command, formed by Carlos Berrios Paco and Pepe, Secretary and President, respectively, of our Club, Canyoning (Gualay). Juanjo was there (for us JJ) with open fire and dinner prepared from clams and prawns lane ... first real luxury of a weekend that many more would follow.
Delicatessen the best company

What a joy to be back with Carlos and Paco Pepe!, Which not seen since the rapid visit to the Bowling Bridge October , and JJ, after 1 month!. Dinner
like kings because, above, had to add the "cradle" (More than 1 kg) of cheese from sheep brought Paco Pepe, then came the glasses y. .. I do not know what caused the alcohol effect in our 4 partners but, two blondes, we became SIX BLONDE!. Between "blonde effect" and jokes from our President were about to give us something ... and so we found the new brand slogan "Berrios:" if there is no crime ".... pelito as happened with the "straw and the eye," the thing in multiple inconsistencies derive even served for the title of the record of today.

... after 2 am we went to bed the next day we expected a ravine to within 2 hours of climb through mountains, no track, trail or anything (even so, the most impresentable the group, followed cachondeito to 3. .. Tiny elements !!!).
Europe's computer with the same charisma, jejeje

8.30 and breakfast on car pal. During the trip commented that it might appear to us the Virgin of the gorge, to a certain chain of certain track was open, and power the car up to a point from where the approach, though long, is much more comfortable runway ... this miracle takes place as Halley's Comet, 1 time every 75 years and ... ¡¡¡¡¡ WAS THE DAY !!!!!... Jesus almost had a shock.

The day promised, the sun looked amazing, and the kick start: 1.30 am progressive rise, comfortable and as spectacular views of Sierra Nevada, just for that worth having arrived there.

The six were excited, the gorge is of those charming, beautiful and so rare, that yes, being at 1600 m altitude, in late November and fed by meltwater has a "charm" additional: that the water is conditioned for penguins and polar bears.
Luckily we always have our Adipo-tex fabric, as always, proved highly effective, hehe
Caminito another "Crime"
Impressive views: It does come up that fall.

At first we got into only to the knees or waist, but in the latter part of the ravine, when we did not know if we had foot or two icicles, covering almost all the pools. To say that Jesus "-who-does-cliffs-solo-with-lycra" Paco and Pepe, who appears to have been raised in the ice age, loooooooong cast under their jackets, and Berrios' el-it-all-you-jump "came into the pits with the delicacy of a nymph of lakes, and you can have an idea.
party begins


First abseiling

Earthquake
But the cold was secondary compared to the enjoyment of the gorge: 2 ½ hours in a great, clear water, abseiling precious (and slippery, as the ravine), jokes, laughter, water slides, numerous "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" "FUCK THAT COLD!" "AH AH AH AH" "UUUUJUJUJUIIIIIIIII" ,
Piennnnnas can not feel!


Jesus passing fatal
downclimbing requiring in some cases be half contortionist loss in one chamber could eventually recover Moni, Jesus measuring the height of abseiling with your super "laser beam", noting the facility, highlights, etc., to make the "mole" of the ravine, previously unreleased the time.
That mole!!
Small cave
simple pleasures

At 16.45 we reached the car, Charles us had advanced ... seepage through the "tomatoes" in their boots had become the Carl Lewis of returns Burrowing, and was already changed and eating something that had "catch and hide the car.

Once dry, direct to Pozo Alcon, hot cup of coffee, enseimadas more jokes (and we by the 300 or so ...) and for home. Although we would love to stay, Jaen command had to return to his lair, so we said goodbye to them, hoping to see you soon.

Saturday afternoon Juanjo, Moni, Jesus and I, we used to plan the bridge in December (up to spectacular adventure Mulhacén) and tinker with computers, in addition, JJ we spent a few programs and a wealth of information (looked like a cyber!). Dinner, program management, chat, fireplace ... at 23.30 we went to bed ... Berrios had left us the "agotaos."
LA MADELEINE. ENCOUNTER IN THE THIRD PHASE

We agreed at 9.30 at home with Cristina (Granada), the last time we saw was months ago at the bowling alley, just a couple of minutes. We finally had encouraged us to make a ravine ....¡¡ did not know what to expect!. Here
still smiling, jijiji

had 3 options: make the lower section (last two rappels with access to 10 minutes), make the middle part (about 5-6 rappels with 1 and a half hours of access) or do comprehensive, with over 2 hours of access and abseiling around 7-8.

think that only 2 were not going to know anythin and the kick was too comprehensive, so we decided on the middle stretch.

The day started, to be even sunnier than the last, we left the car near the ravine and began to walk.
La Magdalena to the bottom
While the first part of the approach is a track that rises progressively to a quarry, each rose by where he wanted: JJ against the wall of the mountain, Jesus, Moni and Cris the track, and I on the other quarry.
each on their way
From the point of meeting the road disappeared and the kick is much like climbing, saving steps such narrow which can only be one foot before the other with a cut to your side more than 60 m was laughter and a totally fractured and broken rock that was loose when you least expected.


Phew, how heavy .... est out, lol
If all this adds to the beautiful views of the Sierra de Castril, the result is a pile of unspeakable feelings that we are fully engaged.


Ferrata without Ferralla

We reached a more level area and had lunch there. Nevertheless, there were outstanding and the town of Christ began to roll, and we found that the aunt runs like a greyhound, because we anticipated ... what was the first "coincidence" to be followed by more ... AH, AH, AH !!!!.

Cris smiles after winning on the run and catch ...


Failed attempt to confuse the Don

Es-pectacular Castril

We had a lot of time going up and we suspected that access to the middle of the ravine should be close, so in an area where you could start to fall or ascend along a path we chose the former.

parriba And ....


If the increase had been órdago, the fall was three pairs of c. .....: the same slope, but "pabajo", first by Cris suffered a quarry where the second "chance "and was able to dodge a rock two feet that rolled toward her. Let's go
!


Pedrera by which we descend


Piedraaaaaaaaaaa!



The quarry had land areas release in which we fell continuously, then down climbing to get to craggy point, as happened to Jesus, who came to a point that neither "Pallas" and "Patra", and climbed like a goat there. At the end we took a rope to a tree to save the last meters ....

The good tree


Cris, aka Jesus contorsonista down and looking enriscao


And we continued down and around the mountain that had gone before and therefore back ... that did not fit and we fly behind the ear when Moni said what we all thought: "I think we will appear on the last rappel.


Well ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls ... ACTUALLY, we continue a little longer and, AFTER MORE THAN TWO HOURS A PURE STYLE PABERNOS kills, "we got to the last two rappels, which can be reached in ten minutes ... We were dying of laughter!.




Once in the ravine (ie almost the output) we tackle and we went to see from below the 2 rappels before, "putting God to witness that we would not try Madalena in its middle, but the whole, total, after that ... We take a Greyhound!.



only had two rappels and had to take advantage of it, so, each in its own way, she turned to crazy "to give emotion: Juan down a stretch of the first abseil from where it was not and he had to climb and another got into a tangle of ivy. JESUS \u200b\u200b


amid all standing on a rock and looked like the new Ken model Burrowing hyperactive " you, put the eight, you, down there, you, grab the rope, you, go up, thou, rides ... JAJAJAJA.


I stuck my leg in the anchor loose and I was blocked as a ham with the leg to the height of the ear in a 2-m abseil until Descojonado Ken stopped and gave me a cable, then I got into the same tangle that JJ.




For its part, Moni, was busy preparing the final trap for Cris: leave the short rope on the last rappel (hehehehe, who enjoys the thug look with these things! ), our Granada told us that it was the first time is disengaged ... ¡¡¡¡¡ Eeeeehhhhhh, but a woman !!!!!. CRIS certainly had enough to leave intact ... oyesssss our tests, we could not with her ... Yes sir, is a champion!


As always, thoroughly enjoyed the day and the kick had been a real cane and laugh, if anything, more than other times I just think that we had the kick of the integral and abseiling the final part !!!!. JJ

Jesus, the knot and eleven

The return to the car is as access, 10 minutes, lol. Direct home for lunch.

About

called Chema 16.30 (our "geoloco"), was with two friends in the cave of Don Fernando (entered on Saturday night and had made in it) and before to pull to Granada we made a visit. Cris was a little earlier, and promised to repeat (genial!!) And after three cavers.

bad thing about Sundays is that you return and some have at Moni, 5-5.30 hour trip, so we collected, we gave him lots of kisses and hugs to our JJ and running. We let Jesus into his car near Murcia, I stayed Blonde in Alicante and we went to Valencia during the trip .... lots of plans for the following weekend we hope to tell soon
