Ascent of Torre de Los Picachos on 2010-12-06| Others in Party: | Solo | | Date: | Monday, December 6, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Torre de Los Picachos | | Location: | Puerto Rico | | Elevation: | 967 m / 3175 ft |
Ascent Trip ReportThird potential peak to climb along the ridges and subpeaks of El Yunque all accessible by trail clearly marked by the US Forest Service. The 2 subpeaks in the area, Los Picachos and La Roca are in my opinion the best views in the area and have far less intrusive materials than the higher main peak Pico EL Yunque. See trip reports for those peaks.
