Fun climb from Chanrion hut
We first tried to climb Bec D'epicun but due to many clouds and a retreating glacier we decided to return to the Chanrion hut. A bit pissed off due to this and the great weather we decided to climb the Ruinette. We knew we would be late at the summit, but the weather was great.
4.5 hours later we stood at the summit and had a great view of the Combin group, and many peaks in the rest of Wallis. Rock quality was ok (it still is Wallis!) and we climbed solo all the time (except the glacier crossing to the final rock ridge).
