Another forecast where the morning is better than the afternoon, so we plan something that's not overly long. We drive a bit up and out of town to park at the lift station of Col Tondo. Now up, up a bit on the trail towards Rif. Mietres, then turning left and following the road/trail towards P. Fames. Up a bit of the big scree fan leading to the Forc. del Pomagagnon and then following the signs to the Terza Cengia, which take us across to the foot of the wall. Around the corner and up, up some more until we get off the scree and onto the band we'll be following. Here we put on the klettersteig gear and continue up, up.
The trail itself is really nice, a mixture of hiking and a bit of light scrambling, with straightforward route finding and not too much gross loose stuff. There's a cable wherever you really want one and in a bunch of spots where it's not super necessary. Big fun.
At the end we head up a bit to the top of the Punta Erbing, where we have a food break and enjoy the views. Then it's down, down, following the marked trail down to the woods running behind the ridge and then along further to the Forc. Zumetes, where we head steeply down on a nicely constructed path. Down, down we go on a nice trail, eventually ending up back in the woods and hitting the path we came up on in the morning. This takes us back to the car and the end of another nice day.
Stats: 5:20, 12.2 km, ~1050m up and down
