7. Mallo Colorao

International > Europe > Spain > Aragon > Riglos

Description

El Colorao is the first separate formation to the right of the huge wall of La Visera.

Getting There

If going directly to this formation, best to take the main hiking trail, starting in town on the right (southeast side? ) and then cut back to the left as the main hiking trail starts to swing around the formation. (see Map)

Descent and other info- see the excellent comment posted by Jesse Bryant May 2024

[Hide Comment] As of 2024, a lot of the guidebook info and online topos weren't useful and were out of date. Generally, there seemed to be more bolts than were indicated. We didn't see any gold or black bolts, as is sometimes mentioned. We ended up climbing (we think) Los Kilos te sientan bien which follows a bolt line up and just to the right of an obvious, barely attached grey boulder at the horizon line. No clue where Anorexia goes, except probably to the left. Bolting was very safe, and grades felt fair, if not a bit soft. Great afternoon romp for our first climb in Riglos!

Just to add to the decent beta, as of 2024, you can rappel off the back of this feature with a single 60m to a ledge and then descend the rest via an established hand line with relatively little exposure. With stretch a 70m gets you all the way to the ground. May 3, 2024
