Here is my proposal for the first official outing of the session. Although at the beginning of the session the qualification of the trips use to be that of Easy or Very easy, this one got the qualification of medium due to some short vertiginous passages and to a few climbing but easy ways. As usual I assume that we have to re-gain our shape before being ready to undertake more demanding enterprises.

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.
Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
