Pico Aneto 3404m

Pico d'Aneto is the highest peak of the Maladetta massif, and the highest peak of the Pyrenees. It rises from the massif's high summit ridge, a position it shares with several peaks, including the massif's namesake, Pico de la Maladetta (10,853 ft.). The massif is located near the center of the Pyrenees, entirely in Spain. The second highest Pyrenean peak, Pico de Posets (11,073 ft.), rises a few miles to the east. It's easy to climb but usually both crampons and ice axe are advisable. The most usual path starts from Renclusa hut (on the North face). A small glacier with some crevices must be crossed. Another possibility is to start from Vallivierna Valley (South face) where you'll feel more comfortable if you don't like huge amounts of people when climbing. Close to the summit there's the so called "Paso de Mahoma" a short passage that requieres handholds with low difficulty climbing.
