| Climbed with Silvio. Brutal walk up to the hut, then two hours sleep and a 1 am start. Took seven hours to the summit with perfect weather. About a dozen climbers started from the hut an hour before us but we never saw more than their lights on the ridge. A nice, easy route. The descent was a bit tricky though as regaining the glacier during the afternoon meant dodging constant rockfall. On a warm day, I'd recommend taking the ridge all the way back to the hut. |
