Climbing final slopes of Fidel Fierro, Campanitas to Veleta Ridge, Sierra Nevada

Incredibly hot between 3000-3400 meters yesterday in the Sierra Nevada. No wind & a scorching sun beating down all day. No shade nor escape from the heat. Not really the day for 6 of us (average age 65+ 😀 ) to go scrambling around on narrow ridges and broken rock walls in an alpine setting. Anyway we enjoyed it, especially the bit where we pulled up and over onto the very summit of Veleta to the obvious astonishment of the groups of young people who had walked up the easy way 🤣 Don't often find videos of me playing about on the rocks but here's one.
