First, I need to beg your pardon casue my english is poor.
I'm planning Ordesa trekking. And I need your help with schedule, refuge and etc.
Below is the tantative schedule. I want you to check it out.
Sep 29 (Day 1)

Oct 1 (Day 3)
Gavarnie -> Gavarnie Fall -> Brecha de Rolando -> (Lunch and break time)
-> Refugio de Goriz
Oct 2 (Day 4)
Refugio de Goriz -> Cola de Caballo -> Torla
Item List
Mountain backpack
Climbing Shoes
Climbing top and bottom
Lightweight Waterproof jacket
Sun hat
(Sleeping Bag, small airmat, long underwear, goose down jacket)
And my questions are :
1. Do I need special equipment? such as crampon, climbing sticks, sleeping bag or anything?
This trekking is part of my long trip. So I don't want to carry all the equipments. So do i need crampon or anything other than what I am going to use?
2. Temperature at Ordesa in September~October?
I want to know what it's like at Brecha de Rolando. I expect it will be quite cold at that heigth in Fall. Do I need to add goose down and long underwear to the list?
3. Is there a problem with my schedule?
Mostly I will follow the route of this GPS tracking :

I am worried about Day3(Gavarnie -> Refugio de Goriz). I guess it will be the most diffcult day during the trekking. I found a post of trip report (Goriz -> Gavarnie)
<a href="http://ga-trip.blogspot.com/2007/08/pyrenees-day-7-refugio-de-goriz.html" target="_newWindow">http://ga-trip.blogspot.com/2007/08/pyrenees-day-7-refugio-de-goriz.html</a>
I made this schedule based on this post. After I read this post, I assumed that i can make it from Gavarnie to Goriz in a day. But I wonder how difficult it will be to finish Day3 course.
I am sure that I am in good shape cause I really enjoy jogging (I run 7 miles daily). But I don't have any technical experience of rock climbing, climbing a snowy mountain. I want to avoid these kind of technical difficulties.
4. Anything else? any advice?
Other than what I asked, do you have anything to tell me? any useful information?
Thank you for reading my message.
