Rio Higueron
... camera past some of the waterfalls, without getting it soaking wet. This involves nearly strangling myself with the waterproof rucksack liner, but at least I've got some photos of the falls now - or at least the four and a half that I've seen, as I still daren't climb past No. 4!! The rope which is meant to assist you is in a truly rotten state (how could it otherwise as it is usually positioned in the torrent?) and the footholds at the bottom of the smooth ...
Rio Higueron
... it. Some other day perhaps .... So I can't give a description of Nos. 5, 6 and 7.
Although there's a path from the beginning of the waterfalls up to the heliport track, I'm certainly not attempting it today as it means a lot of uphill and a long walk back in the heat. So it's back to Frigiliana by the same route - on the way meeting again the same woman who's obviously learned that you get your boots, knees - and quite a lot else - wet on this one!

El Cisne

I guess some of them are already back in the village, while a few are some distance behind. For a good half hour, there's no-one else in sight! The sun gets lower and there's a definite feel of an autumn evening in the air as I gaze across the Chillar to Cerro Mangueno and Cielo on the other side. Then ...
Collado de los Civiles
... which, following all the rain, has water in it) and hope it leads down to the track, which I don't think is far away, although it's now out of sight. Although the first short section of the barranco is clear, it soon becomes choked with prickly vegetation of all descriptions (mostly unprintable!) which I have to fight through. My legs are scratched to bits and there's quite a bit of blood around. Then it gets steeper. I find myself above a 3 metre rock step which looks ...
