    Parking at La Goleta is often full but the walk may be started at Llanos de la Pez where there is space even on the busiest of days.

    Finding a way up El Montanon is probably preferable to finding the way down, hence it is best to do the route anticlockwise as described.

    When you arrive at the rocks at the north side of El Montanon, the path splits. The left (east) route goes up an easy ramp which is exposed. I have not explored above this.

    The easy way is to follow the right (west) branch. This splits; the right (west) branch of this requires the ascent of a short slab with small holds, not exposed but some will find it unpleasant.
    To find the easy way, keep left on this side and the summit is reached with no difficulty or exposure; if you find any, you have gone the wrong way. Descend from the summit the way you reached it to the shoulder on the west side to continue the route.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
