La Sierra de La Cabrera and the Lozoya Valley

This is as close as I've ever stood on the summit of Cancho Largo, the highest peak in the Sierra. I would have tackled that boulder on the right once, there are many hand and footholds and it is only a few feet from the summit, but courage failed me (or common sense prevailed - take your pick!).

The softness of the clouds and the hardness of the rocks forms a great comparison!

A stunning viewpoint Andy................and no point in beating yourself up for not making the peak, I think you made a sensible decision :-)

Wow I think you were brave getting to as far as you did. It all depends on how high it was, but l think common sense prevailed. This is a fantastic view.

Behind me (this shot), a sheer cliff face and vertiginous views! So any route I chose would have been of extreme exposure. I chickened out, even though I would have been able to do it, physically!.
