From the parking lot of the Rabassa we will take the route marked for racquets. We will follow the trail through the forest; at the Pimes hill, the forest opens, and we will continue along the trail a little further until we find the river Cubil, which we will climb up where we are most comfortable, always on soft terrain. Once up, we'll be rolling along a very sloping terrain, losing some height to a 2nd-level crop.. 560 meters, and we'll climb the last stretch to Black Peak. We'll be about 100 feet below the summit at Black Harbor, from where we'll descend through smooth terrain to the Claror Plateau.. At the height of the hut of Claror (not to be confused with the refuge of Claror, which is above), we will cross the river and head east through a strip of open forest to the plateau of Perafita, where we will find the refuge of Perafita.. From the refuge we can follow the summer path to the Mayan Valley, or go a little further south-east and climb up a small table that will be on our left. The climb to the Mayan Valley is done on simple, very smooth terrain. From the collada de la Mayana we will descend looking for the forest lilies until we reach the plateau of the Estall Serrer, where we will have to put our skins back on and climb the Madriu river. We can do it by crossing the bridge and going up the right bank, or going up the left bank and crossing the river at the height of the English Plain depending on the in-situ conditions.. Shortly after the Ingla plan, we pass the refuge River of the Mosses and continue climbing with a tendency to the left until we reach a flatter area from where we can see the refuge of the island. After the refuge, we'll have to flank the left bank of the island's lake until we reach a small creek that will remain to our right.. To reach the pass we have to climb a spade that, at its bottom, has slopes of more than 30o. From the pass we turn north and climb up very smooth terrain to the entrance of the Isard canal.. This channel has slopes of between 35° and 40° in the first 100 metres of its course, and although it is usually windy and with little snow, you will have to be alert if you identify accumulations of snow from wind or after snowfalls.. We'll continue down the circus of the Peaches, trying to lose as little altitude as possible until we reach the First Lake, and from there, by trails, to the parking lot.
