We did this route March 24 (24) .. from La venta Del Collaro – it’s good down but Baranco back up is ‘challenging’ but despite appearances, it does get back to the start. You will need good route finding tech & insight …
You were in luck!! A group of 10 went on 21st march to clear the route through the fallen trees for your descent. Hope it was OK!
