Itinerary description

Show original

Queen Stage!! And very hard. You leave Shiptons Camp at 4200 m at 3.00 am and climb 800 m in just 4 km. To the top of Punta Lenana at 4985 m. Very steep climb and a lot of gravel with sections of technical climbing in the last 200 m. Even a small via ferrata to access the top. The top is reached around 6.30 in the middle of dawn, with incredible tonalities. Subsequent descent towards Chigoria Gate, at 2950m. Descent of 2000 m and more than 23 km. The landscapes, canyons and valleys of the descent are incredible, without a doubt the most beautiful thing next to the top. The route in total is 29 km, not the ones marked by the track (I don't know why I marked such a short distance)
