Ski Touring Extreme
This is an extreme line on a very lonely side of this mountain. Amazing view
In order to access this route you need to climb the ESE ridge od Punta Giordani till the Col where you can ski down. The second half of the descent can be done staying on the left of the ridge or continuing skiing down. Very tricky traverse when you're onto the Ghiacciaio delle Piode
First descent Claudio Schranz 1977 First descent, left variation, Terraneo - Varchetti 2016
