The summit landmark takes a while to appear on the great hill of the mountain, but finally the striking pinnacle of stones, the geodesic vertex and the small corral of the bivouac emerge. This is all there is at the summit, but around it the panorama is spectacular. The deserts of Gorafe, Hoya de Baza and even the sierras of Baza and Filabres seem to be part of another reality. And towards the interior of the sierra, the Alcazaba, Mulhacén and Veleta appear, dominating the rest of the three thousand meters of the Sierra Nevada. The views are good but they get even better further on. The route continues towards the southwest along the typical rocky carpet of mica schists and slates of the Nevada mountains to a small hill where you would have to escape in case of a blizzard or any complication towards the east, towards the Puerto de Trévelez.
