Climbing Teide Volcano highest peak in 🇪🇸 Spain

Rum and Coke for pre-workout, no thanks!

Last dry loop before I get to smell humidity again

Morning exploration ride

I climbed my 1st “Ultra Peak” in Spain, Pico Almanzor

This climb was a logistical nightmare, but at the end turned out the the spanish authorities are more flexible if they see that you know what you doing.
I needed 2 permits one to hike the trail to the top of the cable cart area and another one which is really hard to get, is to climb the last half a mile from there to the top. All the permits are for certain hours, so you have to plan accordingly which makes logistics painful. On top of that they ask you to have certain gear or othewise they don’t let you hike. I was gonna try to run it, but  with all that gear I decided just to hike. 
The terrain is a mix between Haleakala and Mauna Kea with a rocky climb to the top.
One more stratovolcano off the list😜
