Hiking
Very suggestive stretch of path, arriving from the Forcola or from the eastern peak of the Pizzoni di Valsolda. You go around the overhanging wall of the West peak to the north thanks to the wide ledges where the rock often forms roofs. You pass a first gully thanks also to a fixed rope and finally climb a steep stony gully passing again under some rocky roofs to come out at the ridge saddle which is a prelude to the last stretch of climb before the summit.
