Magnificent Route that crosses the steepest part of the east face of Urriellu in a relatively direct way. Due to the huge distances between belays and the lack of places to place friends, it´s not a advisable route for climbers who don´t have much experience in classic climbing. Perfect route if you climb easily 6b sport climbing routes and have a relatively good mental control when belays start to be far away below your feet.
Starting the second pitch. The sensation of verticality is constant since started climbing.
Last meters of the second pitch
Reaching the third belay station
On the fourth pitch (V+)
On the most difficult part of the route. The hard section is perfectly bolted.
Finishing the pitch
5th pitch, V grade but more exposed than the previous one. Once you pass the belly, go diagonally to the right, and then straight up. Its important to be able to see where the bolts are.

From this point on, there are two possibilities. The first one is to continue by cepeda route. The other one is to abseil using the rapelsof the east face. To reach them, make a traverse, 20 meters rightwards. Look at the photo to see were it´s installed.
