Hi all,
After much scrutiny of previous forum posts I am still left scratching my head for a definitive answer on the conditions in the Pyrenees in mid-late April. I do apologise if I have overlooked this information.
I am visiting family who live a couple of hours North of Toulouse and have a chance to nip down with a partner for a couple of days. This would be my first time visiting the Pyrenees.
I have some winter mountaineering experience having spent a week on a skills course in Scotland and gained some further QMDs including grade II ground so I am relatively happy with the winter walking environment.
I have been looking at potentially summiting pic du Montcalm/Pica D'Estats from the Pinet refuge. Is this a reasonable goal for two fit 30 somethings with some winter experience.
Very open to any other ideas for a short trip that could involve a decent day or two winter mountaineering all be it on relativley easy routes? Thank you, James.
