El alto Landro After having to put up with José Miguel talking about the legend of the seven breaks Silan, after hitting a good kicked in summer by the river and after making a first exploratory descent which I could not say anything, finally gave him the high Landro.
On Saturday we joined the troop as usual in the absence of Carlos in Viveiró. It was cold noses and we decided to take a look at the upper reaches of Coruxo to see if it was worth embarking on it. Valer own worth but the delivery was short and fell 60 meters to the gap in just over a mile was expected to fall too long. So in the end we opted to download the section is already known.
the loading on the bridge of Coruxo by Celso and mine was not a good idea as soon had to leave the tributary to carry a trap tree. Thomas and Jose Miguel chose to enter the river by the mill, traditional and recommended loading than did the other two.
The river water was something right and the first steps (class II) were painful but after the first few meters before us a long ramp made of polished granite slabs partially covered with moss and the odd hop. This process is due a good slope and is very beautiful at the same time very continuous. With more water has to be directly into a trance, although poor overturning that will eat wafers and chips all the way down.
At the end of the ramp, the river narrows and closes, becoming buzzard. After about four steps manipulators becomes calm and the portages by branches where a small step takes us to the confluence with the Landro. With the contribution of the latter, we find ourselves in a river channel and flow over.
The first step is to stop forcing a recess which requires climbing a granite slab on the right to let slide until a curl lengthwise.
input and output step
While spending Celso, assure and pulled out some photographs. Following is a step that gives several options, the water we had the best recommendation was to make the gum left on the same side to avoid getting undermined under a rock, the passage continues with a small slide in curves.
From here, the river becomes a crazy jumps, chutes and slides more. Prominent among them the passage of the elbow, formed by a step meter and a half after a short ramp to S. Water takes us on a rock undermined if we are not careful inevitably will strike with the elbow.
Celso, waving ;) A cascade of about four meters preceded by a slide marks the beginning of the section of the river's hot. The lobby is a stone and a gap of just over a meter clear of obstacles. The passage I opened it myself, but I got sidetracked a little gum, and I ended up sucking the octopus. The result, the bow sunk a fist to the inside, small tear of an abductor fibers and a small contraction in the lower back. José Miguel also played rock, but obliquely, while the embroidered Celso phenomenon running jump two feet to the left than the rest. Thomas went to check the hardness of Prijon and portering (the most reasonable choice.)
and again the phenomenon The next step is a series of ramp-jump-ramp that is fun. The jump should be made to the left and the reception is also paved. Here's the joke we had with Jose Miguel, who did pull over to the Germany to record it, but pulled over while he starred in a beautiful swing while the rest of us escojonábamos.
Primoy in an exquisitely a stand still uneven forming a piggy bank, well you can jump diagonally to the lower level of the same or gum on the left. At this time all we chose to jump from the high side, but Thomas went something focused and bounced a little on the lower level.
The best thing is the next river, being a succession of slides, jump three feet high and is narrowing the side cylinders. This time I opened, more than anything to take away the bad taste of shit in the previous cascade. The rest I continued taking turns in the securities.
The river at gunpoint and giving us steps as a perfect slab gum before losing some narrow and uneven.
José Miguel, throwing a Boof
remember The last steps after passing the first entered into the Landro and manipulators that are more narrow. One of them particularly like Jose Miguel and that after a fancy ramps curve is a step in there that do not end up turning main jet giving headlong into a small stone wall.
The river holds the character to the landing. We know him down there is still a mile from beautiful steps and from there a deep canyon which we saw when it kicked in summer can have a couple of sections of class V + / VI. To get an idea, is like the barrel Verdugo Devil but with much more uneven and surprises of the nature of integral traps, pots closed, etc.
The river is a true pleasure sum of 2.5 miles of Class IV / IV + (5) that the number of times it loses sight or securities must be mounted on the four-hour take it down. The character is diametrically opposed to the classic because here we are facing a "step-pool" while below the gap is less pronounced but continuous steps. The

By the way on Saturday night was spent repairing the bow of the Mamba. It is almost unbelievable memory effect of PET, with a little hot water and the kayak disappeared dent is again perfect. There was not the dreaded opening tip or weakened areas (typical white streaks) over voltage.
Salu2 PD: Some of the shots are the first descent, which I could not tell anything in this blog and you had to save some discretion as to the date as on the participants.
