- Taillon

Pico Taillon (3,144m) also known as Punta Negra (left of picture). Also (from left to right) El Dedo (the rock outcrop) - Falsa Brecha - Punta Bazillac - Brecha de Rolando (the gap/breech in the rocks to the right of the picture, which is the access for Taillon from the French side, via the Sarradets refuge). Photo taken during ascent from the Spanish side (Refuge Goríz - Cuello de Millaris) in August 2009. - Taillon

El Taillon or Punta Negra (3,114m) on the right of the picture with El Dedo (literally "the finger" or digit) - the outcrop of rock in the centre of the ridge. Taken from the French side, during the ascent to the Sarradets Refuge in August 2010. The ascent of Taillon via the Sarradets Refuge (2,587m) and the Brecha de Rolando is said to be one of the "easiest" three-thousand-metre Pyrenean peaks. It is certainly one of the busiest in summer. - Taillon

Taillon (3,114m) or Punta Negra and El Dedo (the rock outcrop) during the ascent to the Brecha de Rolando from Cuello Millaris and the Goriz Refuge, in August 2009 (the Brecha is out of the picture to the right). The path from the Brecha passes below the rock face (Punta Bazillac), passes El Dedo (it is possible to pass on either side - I believe it is slightly easier to the right/the French side) from where it is an easy steady climb to the sumit. - Garmo Negro

Desde la subida al Garmo Negro (julio 2005). Picos los Infiernos. From Garmo Negro, spectacular views over the Picos de Infiernos. Spanish Pyrenees. - Aspe

El Aspe (2,640m) zoom from the village of Aísa, 15 August 2010. The classic route is this, the south face, from the Refuge Saleras or Refuge Riguelo. - Aneto
Photo by ojo
The Aneto glacier (Aneto is not in the shot - it was behind me) as it was in August 2009, taken from the point where the route from Col de Coronas (alternative route from the Ballibierna/Vallibierna valley) reaches the glacier. The route you see crossing the glacier is the "classic" route via the Renclusa refuge and Portillón Superior. - Posets
Photo by ojo
The Posets glacier, July 2009. The approach via the Canal de Llardana (north) before reaching the col (out of the picture to the left) that leads on to the airy and loose ridge and finally to the summit. The route from the refuge Viadós is tougher than the classic route (5 hours to the summit/1600m ascent), but it has the advantage of being much less frequented. The classic route approaches the sumit from the other side, south, via the refuge Angel Orús or Forcau. - The Roaches
