Cap Dera Baquo Occidental, Mountain summit in Perdiguero massif, France and Spain.
Cap Dera Baquo Occidental is a summit in the Pyrenees that rises to roughly 3,100 meters elevation at the border between Spain and France. The exposed location with open views and varying rock formations on each side shape the appearance of this mountain.
The summit was established as a reference point when the border between Spain and France was defined through the Pyrenees. Since then, this mountain has marked the dividing line between the two countries.
Mountaineers from both countries have used this summit as a meeting point for generations, sharing experiences while exploring the Pyrenees. The proximity between Spanish and French climbers has created its own tradition here.
The climb requires sturdy footwear, proper equipment, and regular breaks in this high-alpine terrain. Weather can change quickly, so checking forecasts and starting early in the day is advisable.
The Spanish face features darker gray rock formations, while the French side shows lighter stone layers. These differences shape not only the appearance but also the demands of route selection during the ascent.
