The "blocked" canal workers' path makes alpine hearts beat faster. A discreet sign at the bottom of the entrance, "way temporarily closed", top tape and branches thrown on the way. Blocking makes sense for all who have no alpine experience and wrong footwear, for alpinists is once again a madness lost, as everywhere stop, probably forever. Unfortunately, no marking, still feasible, probably not possible in a few years. Except for a few fallen trees, you have to change trains, the storms have gone past the well-laid trail. Really mistaken as the way up in the Barranco steep wall. The path is not anticipated, the hike would have to be spotted. We have consciously decided on the ascent. First, there are the forces, the time is still there, and the slippery places, earth, leaves, needles can be better mastered. The entry is easy at first, at the junction of the official route, straight out. It is first neglected, branches, stones on the way, but not to let hold. Almost at the end of the path, the trail begins. You walk past first. Pathfinding with alpine knowledge, experience with trackless terrain, feasible. Difficult spot with a rope defused. We also searched. When you reach the canal, turn right around the corner, next possibility left again. Arrived at the top after two hours. Only with mountain boots !!!
