August 2011, Refugio Caballo, 3000m in the Sierra Nevada. We help clean the refuge and repair the door and window
In August 2011 Refugio Caballo at 3000m in the Sierra Nevada. The aim was to clean the refuge and repair the door and window
There were three of us. We met the mules at the Ventura trailhead at first light. Loaded down with a few bags of cement, an old chestnut wood window and various tools we made the ascent to the refuge.
En route to the refuge
The work was done and this formed the seeds for the initiative "Acción Sierra Nevada." Since then The Acción Sierra Nevada project has grown. It still needs the support of the mountaineering community. If nothing else please spread the word and help to maintain and restore our mountain refuge heritages.
