| You learn quickly that this is the tried and true method for negotiating the never-ending series of gendarmes. Down to the left and around, then repeat. The ridge itself took many hours. Sticking to the crest is 5th class, can be kept 3rd class if you're willing to drop down further off the ridge at times. We stayed in the 3rd/4th class range. |
