It was many years ago that I climbed to Breche de Roland from Garvanie, on the French side of the Pyrenees, and peered over to Spain and the Ordesa Canyon; roll the clock many years forward, and today I get to walk above and then along the canyon - I have wanted to do this since all that time ago, and it was worth the wait.
It's a reasonable large group that head over to Torla and the. Get the coach into the Ordesa National Park. Flea (?!) and Dan tell us of the brutal climb out of the valley bottom to the Matador, on the balcony of the canyon. But the climb is worth while, even if my Achilles doesn't agree, and we the walk along the balcony to the cirque at the head of the canyon.
The walking is relatively easy and the weather far better than forecast. It really is a classic, and we gradually descend to the cirque and the long walk back along the valley bottom. A great day, and one that I'll remember for a long time.
