A race 🏁 to the highest hut 🏠 of the Alps 🏔🏔. Great alpine experience 😄 however it required a lot of energy 🥵🤯.
We climbed on trails from Alagna at 1200m until Bochetta delle Pisse at 2400m.
Here is microspikes point and snow fields starts. Early in fhe morning is quite ok despite the 0°C line is at 3000m 🌡.
3h ⏱️ to make it to Indren at 3200m is challenging with all the snow. We make it in 3h 2 min... but it seems the organization has not been superstrict.
The sun is shining and we keep going up... Before Refugio Gniffeti we go through a couloir where there are 3 lines of fix ropes 🪢. It is at 3600m so snow is hard and good to make oir way up ⬆️🧗♂️⬆️. The winners at this time are usingnone of the ropes to go dowm 🤯.
After this point all is walking with more or less gradient. A section before Col de Lysnhas a bit of wind and feels cold ❄️❄️❄️ but after passing it the wind dissapear and actually feels very warm above 4200m.
