Itinerary description

Couldn't summit the Dent de Jaman due to poor weather (strong winds and heavy rain) above 1.5k. Watch your step on your way down the north face of the Dent. Easy to trip over or slip, particularly with wet limestone (not recommended). Luckily, some sections have chains and ropes to make the descent a bit easier.

Warning: had to follow the road on my way down from Les Avants to Glion. Every trail down to the Gorge du Chauderon is still closed due to landfalls (a/o Sept 26, 2021)

Overall a demanding but extremely fun hike.
