The Vasar de Mulhacen is my favourite mountain track in the Sierra Nevada. It crosses the spectacular north face of Mulhacen at half height. Seemingly sensationally exposed but the reality is that it...

Arriving at the ski lifts yesterday we found that the bottom gondola lift was broken and wasn't running. Never mind, one plan closes, gets put on back burner and another one opens. Instead, we dropped...

Images from the last 2 days trip to visit "Lake with No Name" at 2900m altitude! A magical, serene place where nature ruled. Humans don't often visit here, if ever. My head is filled with images and e...
