Barranco del Chorro de la Pinarra

The Barranco del Chorro de la Pinarra starts near the Bielsa Tunnel. The approach takes 1 hour, following the PR-HU-182A zig-zag path. You can start the descent from rappel 6, but the full route continues to a meadow before dropping into the canyon. The descent includes 11 rappels over 1050 meters, with a total vertical drop of 300 meters. The longest rappel is 55 meters. Anchors are generally good, using parabolts and trees. Rappel 1 is optional and can be downclimbed. Rappel 5 offers two options: a 55m rappel to the left or a 95m multi-pitch rappel to the right with intermediate anchors. Rappel 6 is a spectacular 55m free-hanging drop onto a slippery ramp. Rappel 7 can be bypassed by walking through the forest. Two 60m ropes are needed. The canyon is visible from the road, indicating its water level. The return walk is short, taking only 10 minutes. There are escape routes available along the course.
