200m.
The original route used on the first ascent to the summit in 1891. Grieta Rubia makes reference to the visible yellow/orange colour of the rock along the gash that ascends the SE face of the mountain.
The start of the route is found about 50 metres on the East side below the Horcada de Santa María. Do not feel compelled to sticking to the deep corner/chimney of yellow/orange rock; it is a UIAA II+ scramble following the buttress to the right of the corner/chimney.
Descent is by downclimbing the same itinerary; therefore, it is advisable to pay attention during the ascent.
