Itinerary description
Date : 2022.10.19
Duration on paper : 08h51
Duration real with breaks : 09h59
Difficulty for me : T4-
Physical : very difficult
Technical : average
Fear : low
Average Slope : +18.9% -14.6% (-13% max recommended)
Attendance ascent/summit/descent : low/null/null
Comment : almost same as hike 083, except colder with less people but arguably better views with the added snow, surprisingly the last ascent was much easier because of the dampness of the ground, also someone remade the trail and it zigzag up instead of being almost straight vertical, way way way easier so much we didn't need poles.
Arolla parking and valley goes dark very quickly in autumn/winter so you better start early or bring headlamps, we did the Pragra-parking by night thus we mostly stuck to the road.
