From the same bend at km 6, we will climb heading south, skirting a private property, and enter the forest of l’Obac dels Cortals. We will follow the camí d’Ensagents and, at the 2,010 m contour, we will come to a path junction and take the one on the right. We will climb gradually, pass through a clearing (private property) and then reach the junction with the camí de la Coma dels Llops. We will not take it and will continue along the left-hand path, crossing a second clearing (la pleta de Baix). On reaching the end of the clearing (2,210 m), we will continue southeast along the solana d’Ensagents to the hut (2,425 m). On the way back, if snow conditions allow, we will continue for about 150 m heading east-southeast and turn left to climb northwards towards els estanys d’Ensagents (2,536 m). We will then head for the south slope of the collada d’Entinyola (2,663 m). Depending on snow conditions, ski crampons or else crampons and an ice axe will be necessary. From the col, on the left we have the pic de l’Aspra (2,697 m) and, on the right, l’alt del Griu (2,874 m). From the collada d’Entinyola we will begin the descent down the northwest slope. On reaching the couloir we will have the option of avoiding it by descending the slope on the right. Once past the couloir, the gradient eases and we will continue along the valley floor of the clots de l’Aspra to the pleta dels Orris (2,100 m). We will then follow the forest track, heading west, which will take us back to the starting point where we left the car.
