Very interesting shot

showing that the climb on the Cimon del Froppa must be quite a demanding task, especially the first pitch above the Forcella Kugy -III. grade (I suppose that you are abseiling this section on this shot). Is the ascent on the scree below the Forcella Froppa very inconvenient and strenuous?
My congratulations and thanks for posting. I surely know that the shots are preceding a very good page. I'm looking forward very impatiently.
Ciao, caro amico!

Re: Very interesting shot

Actually the first 5/6 meters are the most demanding, the crack is overhanging ( more o less where I am in this photo ) and you need a good strenth in the arms to cimb it. Some guides rate this passage III but I think the difficulty is slightly higher, like III+. I'll explain well the route on the page, but Forcella Froppa can be reached also by a ferrata on the oher side, less strenous than the Vallon Froppa but longer.
