Course

Ascent from the end of the road from 2a Lombada to the Ribeira da Camisa, searching for the path to Poca das Pulgas in 3 places. When the rain started we broke off and turned back

Distance: 2.7 km, 300 m of ascent, 300 m of descent

Start: 10.42 Ribeira da Camisa

End

13.05 Ribeira da Camisa

Condition

Ascent paths unclear or overgrown, slippery when wet. Turned back at an exposed spot on the rock face.

Notes

The actual goal was the Paul da Serra; after bright spells on the pass road, thick fog on the Paul. Then a search for rain-free spots on the north side
