Was a really nice hike to the summit, sadly the weather was terrible, my wife and I got the summit in middle of the fog and cold winds. In the base was different, we decent to find a sunny day and clear sky, just mountain was totally cover in the clouds. I want to get back soon.

Finally!
After two previous attempts, I finally got to enjoy the summit views! A wonderful sunny day
Route Climbed: Normal-col Egurral Date Climbed: 13th march 2005
Spectacular visit to this mountain in winter with a lot of snow. This mountain is very special with snow (very alpine with the mix rocky ridge-white snow). At last I've see the mountain without fog and the panoramic is great (Pyrenees, Aralar, Aizkorri, Gorbea,...). Fantastic day.
If you wish an alpine climb to this mountain you must to search the winter climb after the recent snowfall among december-march (only 2 or 3 months for year).
Route Climbed: Larraitz Date Climbed: January 2000
A rainy day in the basque mountains... Fog gave a misterious look to Txindoki, but it was simply impossible to take a decent photograph of this so-called "basque Matterhorn"
Route Climbed: Larraitz-Egurral Date Climbed: 24th january 2004
Hard climb with a lot of fog and cold. With fog it's difficult to find the path to the summit after the col of Egurral but finally we' ve a great joy in the summit. After the descent we've celebrated our mountaineer encounter of the year of mountain group "La Alubiada" with a good plate of string beans.
I'll try to return another day without fog for more pictures of this beautifull mountain.
