Pico Posets, Mountain summit in Aragon, Spain
Posets rises to 3,375 meters in elevation, making it the second-highest peak in the Pyrenees mountain range, featuring steep rock faces and glacial formations.
Henry Halkett completed the first documented ascent of Posets on August 6, 1856, accompanied by guides P. Redonnet and P. Barrau through the Ruta Real.
The mountain name derives from 'pocets', meaning water wells, while locals also refer to it as Llardana due to the dark appearance of its eastern slopes.
Access to Posets requires parking in Eriste village and taking a bus to Casada de Espigantosa trailhead, with climbing season running from June through September.
The Espadas-Posets ridge presents grade II+ rock climbing passages and receives fewer visitors than neighboring peaks, creating opportunities for solitary ascents.
