Untxillaitz, Untxillaitx, or Untzillatx, is a mountain of Biscay, Basque Country (Spain), 934 m. high. Its name may mean "Rabbit's peak" ''untzi(a)''=rabbit ''aitz''=peak. Part of the Urkiola range, although it does not belong to the same crest of the Anboto, it is also part of the same limestone range. It forms the pass of ''Atxarte'' with the neighnouring Aitz Txiki and it's located in the valleys of ''Mendiola'' and ''Mañaria''. Quarries have been created in both sides of the mountain, but now the ''Atxarte'' one is closed. Mañaria is the starting point of the Urkiola pass that separates Untxillatx from Mugarra. An outstanding feature is the rock prominence in the north face, called ''Urresti''. This prominence has many rock climbing ways and vulture nests. == Climbing routes == From Atxarte.(1h 30m) From the neighbourhood of Zelaieta in Abadiano the road goes to the ''Atxarte'' pass there the river is crossed and a path turns to the right and there is a steep ascension beside the ''Urresti'' prominence. At the top of ''Urresti'' there is a difficult rock climb that leads to the ''Elosua'' col route. At the end of the prominence, the crest is followed until the summit. From Mañaria by Elosua.(2h) From the quarry at this side of the mountain, there is a path that leads to the col of Elosua, from where the summit is reached following the crest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Untxillaitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
