Itinerary description
Date : 2023.07.11
Duration on paper : 09h02
Duration real with breaks : 09h56
Difficulty for me : T4-
Physical : very difficult
Technical : average
Fear : average
Average Slope : +20.9% -17.5% (-13% max recommended)
Attendance ascent/summit/descent : low/low/low
Comment : 3610m highest summit you can hike in Switzerland without equipement, as proof, most of us were in low hiking sneakers (good quality and proven). It's not hard technically, a T3 really but since it's officially T4 I kept it. Most T4 are way worse than this. The difficulty for me didn't come from the technical segments but from breathing this was very difficult for me and it shows on Xavier's videos every step was hard, not sure I would have finished without the encouragements. My limit seems to be around 2900m after that I slow down drastically. Without the oxygen-elevation problem I would rate this an average difficulty hike. Beautiful views on glaciers...go there while there are still some :/
