We are heading to bed now to set off for an early start and summit attempt of Como Pedrosa, the highest peak of the Principality of Andorra.
Once in Andorra we will lose our cell phone coverage, especially as we ascend the mountain, however upon our return to Spain we will update. Stay tuned!
Coma Pedrosa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coma Pedrosa (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkomə pəˈðɾozə], locally: [ˈkoma peˈðɾoza]) (2,943 m or 9,656 ft) is the highest
mountain in the principality of Andorra.[2] It is popular with mountain climbers, its ascent being technically
straightforward,although strenuous. Several mountain lakes and
tarns are found on the slopes, notably Estanys de Baiau, which lies on the western slopes, across the Spanish border.

The nearest town is Arinsal, La Massana. Historically, the mountain provided ample security from invasions into
