It has been a few days since I summited anything on my HRP traverse. I opted to do a big 35.3 KM day after the Aneto day, and then I took a full rest day in the town of Salardu. I had the option to climb Montardo or Tuc de Riberata 2 days ago, but I skipped a summit on that day, as today I would make up for it. The plan for day 23 of the HRP would be to bag three summits in quick succession. I left the town of Salardu at 6:20 am, then hiked up through the Baqueira ski area. After hiking through the ski area I made it to the Estangs de Bacvier. Once I detoured around the small lakes through the soaking grass, I started making my way up the South West face of Tuc de Marimanha. The face was lacking any sort of a trail, but there were just enough cairns to follow, and I managed not to get lost despite the dense morning clouds. The route up to the first summit was a mix of steep grass and boulder fields. The summit was mostly clouded in, so I soon kept moving. From Marimanha, the route would then descend to the Col d'Airoto. Instead of following my route down from the col, I decided to go up the West Ridge of Tuc de Bonabe. The terrain was easy at first, but then as I got nearer to the summit some very fun ridge scrambling on chunky rocks took me to the top. At this point clouds were clearing up for the day and I could see the route that I would attempt to climb the third peak of the day, P600 Pic de Moredo. The route I would take would pass up and down the ridge line between Bonabe and Moredo, then drop in behind the North West side of Pic de Moredo. My map didn't show any trails for this route, so it was a bit of an experiment. Thankfully the visibility was good, and after a slightly scrambly start, I actually found a trail of cairns to follow to the summit. The route turned out to be quite simple, staying just to the left of an interesting tower and some steeper terrain. The summit views were great, but I quickly kept moving. Once back down on the trail and having descended the simple South East ridge, I stopped to have some lunch. At this point I was met up with my friend Malo again. After lunch we made our way down the valley and into the very small village of Alos d'Isil. The descent into the valley was pretty rough, and we ended up losing the trail and bushwhacking through some tall grass and thorny plants. In the town of Alos d'Isil at 1270M, we went to go take a break at a refuge. After hanging out a bit there, I left Malo behind and hiked North East along the Baranc de Comamala, following a valley up to 2080M to camp out for the night next to a small lake called Bassa de Sobriu.
