Peña Ezkaurre

Peña Ezkaurre rises to an elevation of 2049 meters, featuring steep limestone walls on its north face and a more accessible northwest climbing route.

The mountain has drawn mountaineers since the late 19th century, establishing itself as the second peak over 2000 meters from the western edge of the Pyrenees.

The mountain's name derives from Euskera language, combining 'Ezka' referring to the nearby river and 'aurre' meaning above, translating to 'over the Eska'.

Climbers typically start their ascent from the col of Argibiella, following paths marked with red and white paint toward the summit plateau.

The limestone surface becomes particularly hazardous during summer rainfall, creating dangerous conditions near the vertical drops of the northeast and east faces.
