Description
You can consider this sort of a two-part area:
1) Climbs along, or would be accessed from, the 10 km one-way access road from the hamlet of Escalona
2) Climbs access by hiking up the beautiful and well-maintained trails that start at the parking lot and lead into the high country
I've also included a section for photographs of crags seen "on the Buerba-Puyarruego-Escalona Road"

Getting There
Anisclo canyon is located in the eastern part of Ordesa Nat. Park. From Torlo head south about 12 km to the small town of Fiscal, thence East on Rt 260 to Route 138. Turn north on Rt 138 for about 8-10 km. In Escalona take the small road to the left. In a short distance the road straight ahead turns into a one-way road. Take it. It is about 10 km to the tiny larking area (and parking on the side of the road too.) BUT the climber will take a while to drive these 10 km since there are numerous cliffs to be seen. (Photos).
Return - If you are returning (or going) to Torlo it is probably best to continue on the road towards Nerin (don't take the turn-off to Nerin itself) and continue on towards Fanlo and Torlo. If you are headed east towards Rt 138, then take the switchbacks and turn left on the road towards Buerba and puyarruego. 9see photo of map)
If you are in Torlo, it is also possible to go directly to the parking area of Anisclo (where the GPS "Location" is centered) by going east on Rt 631 towards the towns of Fanio and Nerin. However, you miss the one-way access road and 631 looks like a "bear" of a road on the maps. The parking is about 3-4 km beyond Nerin.
If you are coming directly from Barcelona, you pick up Rt 138 a few km east of the town of Barbastro.
